The reconstruction thread

Could you give me the cross? I thought for sure that it was y D' R2 U L2 D, but I don't see you doing the last D.

EDIT: If you have the scramble, why can't you reconstruct it yourself? >.>

First i cant reconstruct because im grounded right now and my parents took my cube. Second, idk what the cross was but that sounds about right.
 
The scramble listed on the video is missing the 1st move D.

Hi Brest, can you reconstruct my solves? I've tried it before but i can't becauseI don't have the scrambles
Would you like the scrambles so you can try yourself?

Yeah i scramble with yellow on top, green in front. Now can you do the reconstruction please?
I haven't done this since you posted because Jaycee and JyH were giving it a go. I have posted the (hopefully) correct scramble so that they can try to have a success.
I have some other things on at the moment, so if it isn't done in the interim I'll do it when I get some free time.
 
It seems like a lot of people just post here to get someone else to reconstruct for them. A least try yourself, esspecially if it's your video and solve. Then you can post the reconstruction and ask for help for a better solution or something.

If you don't have scrambles, I think you're supposed to download cube explorer, plug if colors of the cube while it's scrambled on a blank cube, then find the optimal solution, and the scramble is that backwards.
 
^ Me too! Race?

Convenient time for me to get online..

Just so you know I've never successfully reconstructed something xD

Thanks for the fix, Brest.

EDIT : GAH. Forced to leave *rolls eyes* Oh well, I'll find a different video to reconstruct in the near future. xD

Unsure about the ETM, could you please check, Brest? :p

Good job!
I think the (U U) in the second pair was (U' U') and (y' y2) was (y' y2'). Other than that, spot on. Nicely done. :tu
For ETM count each rotation the same as any other move, so there are at least +4 moves. I usually write (U U) as U2, so 1 move HTM but 2 moves ETM. (y' y2') is 2 moves ETM but I'd write it as y3'. (I'm not sure if this is the best way, but it's neater.)
This makes the move count 52htm/3.25tps : 57etm/3.56tps

Oops, I completely forgot that ETM counted rotations as moves. Thanks for all the awesome feedback, I'll definitely try to remember this for next time. :)
 
Sure !!

I've tried to figure out the scrambles with cube explorer before, but its too hard to fill the right color in the right place...
Here are the scrambles I got on the 1st pass.
I've included what I had to reconstruct to find the scrambles.
If you get stuck just let me know and I'll give it a go.

1st solve - 14.72
B' F' U2 B2 F D2 U2 L' R2 F' D' B F2 L' B D F2 R B2

2nd solve - 14.71+2
??

3rd solve - 14.56
??

4th solve - 14.59
F2 R' F2 L R2 B2 R D' R2 B U L' F U B' L' R U' L'

x' U L U x' y D' U L F' D2' // cross

5th solve - 12.56
D2 F' R2 D2 R2 D2 B' R D2 L' F' R D' F2 U L B2 F'

z2 U' L F' y U R2 // cross
U L U' L2' U L // 1st pair
