mwahaha I bet you can't solve this

This was probably one of the most fun things that I have ever done.

1) Ud u2'   2) Ud u4'   3) dd u6   4) dd u2'   5) dU u'   6) dU       7) UU       8) Ud      9) Ud       10) dU      11) dd      12) dd

First side:
1) Center+1st edge
2) 2nd edge
3) 3rd edge
4) 4th edge
5) Edges to 12:00

Second side (you can look at the clock on the second side, but you are still turning with respect to the first side):
6) 2 edges
7) 3rd edge
8) 4th edge
9) 1st corner
10) 2nd corner
11) 3rd corner
12) 4th corner
All clocks to 12:00 skip.

I know David Woner has already posted a solution, but I couldn't let this challenge get past me. Particularly strange was not using a flip.

You could always learn a real no-flip method.

Yeah 2x2x3 solution wasn't too amazing but I used it because I wouldn't have seen the other in a speed solve. Plus z rotations are epic.

step4 saved the solve. 2x2x3 was terrible and I didn't look ahead to fix bad edges while doing the 2x2x3 so I got 6.
