The 3x3x3 Example Solve Thread

Since you didn't post a new scramble (once again), I'm gonna post a better solution to the same one instead:

Good to see you back; it had been so long since I saw you on here I wasn't even sure you were still cubing! What have you been up to all these months?

My last semester at the university was really hard, and I have even followed one more course in order to have more free time next year. I still pick up a cube once in a while. Now I'm almost done with exams, so I am going to practice a bit this summer

Very nice solution for last week's FMC by the way, I'm glad someone beat me besides Baldav who very obviously used insertion finder for his solve.

btw that scramble was 2 moves from superflip

 

[adimare]

Yeah it was a PITB, 12 flipped edges from all 3 angles, good thing about these scrambles is that any move you make results in 4 good edges, both F B and F B' as a start on this one resulted in 2 pairs + only 4 bad edges, but I couldn't find a way to use the second pair.

Oh nm I see what you mean, U2 F2 + superflip = 22 move solution. Missed that, I don't know the 20 move superflip by heart tho so I would have had to cheat to get that.
