The 3x3x3 Example Solve Thread

OLL: U' f R U R' U' f' (Headlight alg 2 look Oll)
PLL: H Perm U
Type out the algs you use. People use different algs for different cases and other people may not be able to follow what you're doing. I tried doing your solve and ended up an E perm+U2 away from being solved.

B2 R2 U B2 U R2 U2 B2 U R2 U' B D' L U L' R U F D U2
x2 // Inspection
L2 U' F R' F2 L' D' // Cross (7/7)
U' R U' R' L' U L // F2L-1 (7/14)
U L U L' // F2L-2 (4/18)
U R' U R y R U R' // F2L-3 (7/25)
L' U2 L U' L' U' L U' L' U L // F2L-4 preserving EO (11/36)
U R' F R U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R F' R // COLL (20/56)
M2 U M U2 M' U M2 // EPLL (7/63)
I might need to find a shorter COLL...

From a misscramble:
x2 // Inspection
L2 U' F R' F2 L' D' // Cross (7/7)
U' R' U' R // Two pairs (4/11)
L' U L // F2L-1 (3/14)
d' L' U L // F2L-2 (4/18)
U2 R U2 R' U2 R U R' // F2L-3 (8/26)
d' R U2 R' d R' U' R // ZBLS (8/34)
U' R U R' U R U2 R' // OCLL (8/42)
M2 U' M U2 M' U M2 U // PLL (8/50)
Disappointed that this wasn't from the actual scramble. Saw that I was going to pair two edges and did a ZBLS I knew (one of three I know that doesn't preserve EO (the other two are VHLS)).

I use CFOP as my main method. I am a noob at this website so I will just post the scramble the guy above me told me to use.

Then the cube is solved.

No, it's not solved. Here, take a look:
alg.garron.us

Not even your cross matches.
I recommend you to check the solution with either alg.garron.us or alg.cubing.net before you post it. It is easy to hit a typo.

Something is wrong here too.

(Am I the only one who checks his solutions?)
 
No, 2GLL has something wrong too.
Second U was meant to be a U', Unless I somehow messed up AUF, I think that's it?

Why don't you use alg.cubing.net to test your solution?

Was having Java problems, fixed now though.

Okay, but FYI alg.cubing.net doesn't use Java. (alg.garron.us does)

Just noticed, I'll probably use cubing.us from now on.
