Could be nice to use pre-moves with this start.

Edit: Sick! New PB. :tu

Pre-move R'
D R' F' : 2x2x2
B L' B' D L2 D' : 2x2x3
U B' U2 B2 : F2L-1
L U' L' : Leave 3 edges
L' B' R B L R' U' R' U R : ELL
R' : Insert pre-move

D R' F' B L' B' D L2 D' U B' U2 B2 L U' L2 B' R B L R' U' R' U (24 HTM)

Start of ELL cancels 1 move; end of ELL cancels 2 moves with pre-move. I haven't figured out edge commutators yet, so no insertions. In fact, this is a good reason to try and figure them out... Although, 3 cancellations is already pretty sweet.

Nice solutions again!

Brest, there is not much to "learn" about edge comms:
Look where they are on the same slice and solvable via a U2 M U2 M' style cycle.
Without cancellation this is still only 6 moves!

Yes! I understand the concept, but I haven't really practiced them. The few times I've looked for an edge insertion, including just now, the edges don't line up on a single slice for a 6 move cycle, so it's a matter of finding a 9 move (U perm) or 10 move [D'M2D,L]. Are there 7 & 8 move algs?
I find these harder to "see" than corner comms, although that's probably a matter of practice. It's easier (at least for me) to build a skeleton of edges leaving corners, than corners leaving edges.
What I would like to learn is inserting 2 edges and 2 corners, as I find these skeletons frequently. Are these inserted with 10 move LL algs? Or some other way? I probably should ask these questions in the FMC thread...

 

[irontwig]

Only 7 and 8 movers: U M' U2 M U (Trivial), R2 B R2 u2 R2 B R2 u2 (What the hell is going on?).

 

[Brest]

R2 B R2 u2 R2 B R2 u2 (What the hell is going on?).

That's sweet!

Can you give insight into 2e2c inserts? Are they short LL algs, or intuitive, or something else?

 

[irontwig]

They are just short LL algs.
