Here are the solutions. It's a little off-topic to be talking about whether this is Fridrich or not, so whatever. I'd say everything is standard Fridrich apart from from Jimmy starting with 2x2 block and that István kind of switched from green to yellow F2L, while cancelling a pair into the OLL. Reconstructions are posted by others from other threads
Jimmy:
Scramble : U L2 U' R2 B2 U L2 D2 R2 F2 R2 F L F' D2 L' U B' D R2 F'
Solution : U L U R2 U2 (bloc 222)
B D' R2 D' B R' (cross + second F2L)
B2 U' B U (3rd F2L)
D B2 D2 B' D2 B' D' (4th F2L + LL skip)
István:
scramble: D'R2DL2F2DLR2B'D2U2L2DF'L2UL2FU
Xcross on green: FD'FL'BR2
2nd f2l: RBR'B2DBD' (12 move with R2 R cancel)
and from here he should've done: U'BU'LU2L' (18 moves total, beaten the scramble by 1 move!)
but he did something like: U2BLU'LF'L'FU'L' (22 moves total)
I do remember seeing that alternate ending on another thread. IIRC the 18 turns is optimal. Of course, the threads are somewhere on the forums, but I don't have them bookmarked and have no reason to search for them ATM
