I missed the cutoff... dang it...

but I did the solves. AO12 was not great; 22.72. I did get a sub 20 AO5 on the last 5 solves, though.

AO12: 21.39

17.64, 19.76, 23.42, 22.31, 21.68, 16.70, 21.16, 21.06, 22.51, 23.56, 22.68, 21.72

Last layer skip on scramble 6. I totally screwed that solve up. I couldn't even find a cross solution in 15 seconds, so I was just winging it. The entire solve sucked until that LL skip. I'm going to try to reconstruct it.

EDIT: This will be really hard to reconstruct because I couldn't even plan a cross during inspection. I have no idea what happened in the solve. (I'm not sure why I had trouble with finding a cross. When I looked at the scramble again, I found a very easy cross really quickly.)

Found the answer. I'm white/yellow neutral, and apparently I didn't take a good enough look at white. White had an easy cross, but I did a yellow cross in the solve.

Unsuccessfully attempted to reconstruct. I'm pretty sure that my cross and first pair were:
y2
R F' D R' D F' y' r' U r
y U R U R' U2 R U R'

I'm almost certain that's exactly how I did the cross, but I'm not as sure that I got my first pair right.

I do remember that my last pair was one of the "weird" F2Ls. (F2L 23 or 24 on here: http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/First_Two_Layers)

Well, I'm a little sad that I didn't figure out the last layer skip. If someone else wants to have a go reconstructing, have at it.

Wow, so bad. Lots of solves where I was just staring at the cube, knowing exactly what to do, but somehow unable to do it.

Sorry for being late again; I'll just give the next one until next Monday since this was so late.

My first entry into this thread. I just graduated the race to sub-25 this week and it took forever but had a "huge" jump in times in the past month so I am riding the momentum. I bet it'll be awhile before I am sub-20 but I know I can do it! Not a terrible start at sub-23.
