and now I'm pissed. Basically, this is the very first thing I tried. I found this much solution without writing it down, so I solved the cube normally so that I could rescramble and reconstruct the 2x2x3 I had so far. And during the regular speedsolve after the 2x2x3, I got a PLL skip. I wasn't even trying to find good solutions, since I was just solving it normally, so I probably did something stupid to finish F2L after this. I cannot find the solution that gave me a PLL skip, though. I think the OLL was F' double left sexy F, and there was an AUF. Does someone want to help me find what I did in the middle? 12 move 2x2x3 + 11 move last layer is pretty good by my standards.

I did not find a PLL skip, but I did find this F2L:

Spent a long time trying to make the awful ending less awful, and didn't find anything significantly better, mainly because I'm really tired and I didn't bother trying some obvious things after wasting forever on a really stupid pseudo block that never was efficient enough. I found a 24 move pseudo F2L but LL killed it and it was nearly 50 moves, so I ditched it. 11 move 2x2x3 but a 50 move solve. Pretty bad. I should learn how Petrus works so I don't fail when I start with a 2x2x3.

Sorry I'm a bit of a noob since I don't know full OLL and my F2L pair-making can be pretty hideous.

Green on D face, White on F face:

Method: CFOP/Fridrich

Green Cross(on D): R' D R' F2 D' B'
1st F2L Pair: B' U' B R' U R U B' U B
2nd F2L Pair: U R' U R U F U F'
3rd F2L Pair: U2 R' U R
4th F2L Pair: U F' U F U R U' R'
OLL: F (R U R U')X3 F'
PLL: R' U2 R U2 L U' R' r' F r U' R U L' + U2

Cube: MoYu Weilong(White). -Not that it matters
Total Moves: 65 (Slightly above average for the typical Fridrich/CFOP solve). - Again, Not that it matters.

Thankyou and I welcome any comments on my method.
