The 3x3x3 Example Solve Thread

solve

You didn't put a "next scramble" at the end of your solve, so I'll solve L U2 F2 R2 U2 D L' R B R2 F L' D B D2 B' D2 U2 L R2 D' L' F2 R2 B.

U' B U S D S' D' F' (8/8) 2x2x3 minus one edge
x2 U' L F' L' (4/12) XXcross
y' L U2 L' d' L' U' L R' U' R d' (11/23) AB3E
r U R' U' M U R U' R' (9/32) LL
35 HTM

I've gotten so lucky the last two scrambles that I haven't even had an instance where checking the inverse would be advantageous. The 37 HTM solve I got last post as well as this solve both had linear last layers. In both cases, I found an XXcross, then (speed)solved the cube just so I could rescramble and reconstruct the XXcross, and got a PLL skip by chance.

EDIT: I'm a noob... LL was a 3 cycle... what was I talking about with not even needing advanced FMC stuff? Going to look for insertions now... brb
Aaaand can't find anything. Don't really know how comms work; don't really know how to look for good spots for them. I was mostly looking for easy setups to M' U2 M U2 or something similar, and couldn't find one.

I can't get the solution to work on the normal scramble. I'm guessing slice moves make inverting the solution and putting it on the normal scramble not work? Can someone who is experienced with FMC confirm that? I'm also struggling with using insertions. I'll keep working on this solution.

Right, since your solution effectively includes rotations, when you start your solve with an (e.g.) "F", it might not be the right face.

You know you aren't allowed to look up last layer algs in comps, right? It'd probably be worth your while if you either started practicing insertions or just stuck to LL algs you know

Yeah, that was before I understood insertions. And who says you can't (discreetly) look up als in comps?
