I don't understand why you call it an "Hexagon".
Interesting solve anyway.

It's from Hexagonal Francisco, which is an improvement of Triangular Francisco, which is weird. Thanks for the L5E stuff, I've never really seen a nice list like that. I'll do another solve.

Hi all, i decided to make this game so we can all learn and have fun...

so here it is:
i start by giving you a scramble, and then show the way of solving it using the method i use, then i post a new scramble ... the next member take it and make a solve for it using the method he use, then he post a scramble for the next member to solve it, and so on.

so, random scramble from cubetimer.com
U2 R' D2 R2 U' R2 F2 R L' B2 L' R' D2 L' B L2 R U D' B2 F' D' L2 B' U'

i use Fridrich method as my main speed method:

Cross: z2 R' D L2 D2 U' r' U
F2l 1: x y U2 R U' R2 U R
F2L 2: d R' U' R d' L' U L
F2L 3: y' R' U2 R U2 R' U R
F2L 4: y' U2 R U R'
OLL : U' F R U R' U' F' f R U R' U' f'
PLL : U M2 U M2 U2 M2 U M2

---

next member scramble: L F' B L' B2 R2 U2 D' R L2 D R2 B U' R2 D' R L F2 L' B' F' U' L U'

make a solve for it using the method you use, post the solve and then post a random scramble for the next member to solve it

hope we have fun and learn at the same time

Took too long but I did an example solve with each of the "Big 4" on Pyjam's scramble (using preferred variations)

U' M2 U' M' U2 M U' M2 U'//EPLL

CFOP, 43 (OLL/PLL) This was pretty insane, the PLL killed it though

Actually, if we want to go above and beyond in a CFOP approach, you can do F2L-1 in 17 moves
