First time ever trying to construct a solve with cube notation. Cool. Solve actually would've been nice; only two rotations the whole solve. Cross was awful, though. It was one looked, but long. Can someone give me their cross solution for that? BTW, I only solve white and yellow, so please only do cross on U or D for that scramble.

What the...

would you have seen the triple Xcross given 15 seconds of inspection? That seems nuts.

Probably not, I would have seen the first part and the second Xcross I inserted the corner accidentally, so I would have put the edge in, then I would have notice the last part, which was just a wierd F2L insert with the cross unfinished.
