Bruh, you need to enter the moves correctly, you can't just put triggers in the middle.

I don't like that 5EP case. Even though it's only 9 moves, I can't sub-1 it.

@Devagio does that count as Mehta?

@Devagio does that count as Mehta?

The start counts, not sure about the quantity and quality of the final two algs you used; they seem mostly intuitive.
So not really sure, probably some FMC variation. Can potentially average under 35 moves with NISS it seems, so maybe an alternative for people lazy to do DR.

Also, since you forgot, Next: U L F D2 B2 U' D2 R' F2 B2 U2 D' B2 L2 D' U' L D B L' U' B R' U2 D

My plan was to do Mehta but then I realized after 6CO I could just do a couple moves then a short PLL


I tried again, but then I got to 6CP and realized I have no idea how the CP System works lol
