So I average around 20 seconds, so you may be thinking, "how is this going to be a sub 10 fail?" and you would be right, but I just got the luckiest scramble I've ever seen.
D2 L2 U' F2 D' L2 F2 U' R2 U' R' B L U' F D B R2 D' F
(I don't know how to do reconstructions properly so sorry in advance)
White bottom green front
F2 R' F' D'
Rotate to the right
Insert blue-orange pair
Rw U' Rw'
Insert orange-green pair
Rotate to the left
Insert red-green pair into the back first
Insert blue-red pair
Fw R U R' U' Fw'
Jb perm
Final time: 13.25
Now this is decently far away from being sub-10, but I do believe I could have made it. I was doing slow solves at the time, mainly focusing on look-ahead and being more efficient, so I was turning around 3 or four tps and didn't really think too much about how LITERALLY EVERY F2L PAIR WAS FREE. I only started actually turning when I got too OLL. I used 2-look oll, so it was insanely lucky for the usual edge orienting alg to fully solve OLL and give me a j perm. I also unfortunately locked up a lot on the j perm which maybe added about another second. Overall: I am very salty since it is my dream to get a sub-10 solve, but I just have to hope for another chance in the future.
