Well that was a failed attempt at being less efficient, but obviously 2-look CMLL didn't help. Does anyone have a better solution for that F2B-2 and -3?
 
in the sticky it says we should post a scramble for the next person, does that mean we should change the way we do things in this thread?

12-move (pseudo) F2B solution I found:

That 2nd block, man...
 
Second solve of the day. I average 35 - 40 so a 23 seconds solve was nice. I reconstructed to see if I made less moves than normal. To my surprise even with one step corners (I know only two step and this was lucky) I have waaay too much moves..

It's clearly my block building that is very ineffcient. I would love to see some reconstructs of the blocks from you guys on this scramble with white on D and blue on L.

Gosh I really want to take a stab at it, but this isn't really the proper thread for this kind of request. Although I'm not exactly sure where you could post such a thing...


























o.O pssst!!

sorry, couldn't resist! :p

No, but really this isn't the right thread...

np. Play around with the various block building that the cubers here do. It's a great way to learn new and interesting ways to build.

I would do the first 2 blocks like that. It leads to a very good CMLL and LSE.

Horrible LSE. I think I remember someone giving me a better alg for that F2B-4, but I can't find it; does anyone have a good solution for it?
