The 5x5 Example Solve Game!

[The Blockhead]

Well this is gonna be something....

Hi everybody! I just thought this thread should be created, so here it is! This is how it works, in case you didn't know:

1) If you decide to post, then you will scramble your 5x5 using the scramble provided by the most recent reply.
2) You will then record every move as to how you solved your puzzle, and post that along with a new scramble for the next person.
3) BEFORE YOU POST: It is recommended that you check your solve using this site: https://alg.cubing.net/?puzzle=5x5x5, just to make sure you recorded it correctly.

So I'll start it off with a scramble generated by cstimer.net:

Spoiler: notes

Tried multiple ways of doing the edge pairing (including using NISS!), but this 55-move solution was the best I found by quite a few moves (second best was 61 moves).

61 moves edge pairing on inverse:
D r F R F' r R' F' L R F r2
F2 U' b' D' F2 D U' L U L' b
u d2 B U' B' u' F' D F d2
D B U l' r D2 l r'
D' R u2 R' U' R B' U B u' R U' R2 U R B' L B L' u'

333 stage:
D2 B L2 F2 B' D // 223-corner (6/6)
U' L' R B L R' // EO (6/12)
B2 U' B' U B2 U' // F2L-2 (6/18)
U B' U2 B' @ D' F R2 F' D B2 U2 B' // tripod LL alg; ab3c (12-3/27)

Spoiler: notes on your solve

x' y2 Rw' F Rw F2 Rw U' Rw' M' F2 M Rw' D' Rw Lw2 U2 Lw2 // 4th Center

Never do y2 rotations in L4C. Want to put something in your direct line of sight? Use x/x2/x' rotations. Also, you're using loads of slice moves in centres for some reason; it's fine if you're doing it just because you're counting moves in STM, but for speedsolves, avoid slices whenever reasonable.

… 2U R U2 R' … // F8E

This can be just Uw R U R'.

… Ue' … // F8E

Typo for Uw'…? (This gets parsed by alg.cubing.net as U and e'.)

L2 R U R' F R' F' R Dw R U R' F R' F' R Dw' E B2 E' x' R' F' R U' R U R' U' Rw2 B2 Rw' U2 Rw' U2' x' U2 Rw' U2' Rw U2 Rw' U2' Rw2 // L4E (pathetic)

Rather than "pathetic", let's just say there's room for improvement instead.

u' 3u' R U R' F R' F' R 3u u // slice-flip-slice
z' r2 B2 r' U2 r' U2 x' U2 r' U2 r U2 r' U2 r2 // parity L2E

You never need to flip an edge for this L2E case. If you have the edges at UF and UB, either it's already at the correct angle, or you just need to do a U2 to set it up. (Or you can learn the mirrored alg.)

R U' L' U R' U' L U' x R2 F R F' R U2 4Rw' U 4Rw U2 B

Here's a fun one: the (move) optimal alg for that ZBLL case is Niklas cancelling into J perm: R U' L' U R2 U2 L U' L' U2 L R. (Awful regrips, though.)

I wasn’t trying to do FMC, I just felt like doing a 5x5 example solve.

lol when I saw you'd posted here before 7 I thought you must have been up doing that for like 30 minutes

Sorry for the confusion, Ben. Actually It was a message for me. I started with the idea of using Leor, then Yau, then none.
