wtf 10 moves? i was so sure i had the best lse. how u do dat? >.>

Using the misoriented centers table. The table suggests nice EO (or setup for EO) depending on the positions of the UL/UR edges, making Step 4a and 4b together an easy case (usually - not always!). Columns show wrong edges, rows show the positions of the UL/UR edges. The corners should be matched, or can be misaligned with a U2 move (but no U or U'!).

So, we have to do a U move, and then we can look at the table. You can find this case in Q9 in the second table, which says U2 M'. This brings you a nice EO case, which also helps UL/UR a lot - and the rest is pretty straightforward (with misoriented centers in this case).

Overall:
U // setup for the table (positioning the corners)
U2 M' // Second table Q9 says this
U2 M' U M U' // misoriented centers EO together with UL/UR
U2 M2 U2 M // M-perm

And of course the R' in the end. The cancelations bring you the 10 move solution above.

Note that I do not use the table for speedsolves - but it is useful to learn the short ones. I use the full tabe for searching shorter LSE solutions.

 

[pewpewrawr]

Oh wow, thanks for the link. I wasn't aware that such a thing existed. This is will be of great use to me.

Even without the misoriented centers table you could do:

U' M2 U' M U M' U' M' U2 M' U M2 R'
13 STM

Thanks, I'm really bad at lse sometimes (or all the time lol). Most of my energy goes towards blocks, so it progresses quite slowly in comparison. I do MU scrambles every now and then, but they get boring.

This weeks scramble normal solve:

x U2 L' U2 x U F2 U' F r' F [9/9]
U R2 M U' M' U2 R' U R F' U' F r U R' [15/24]
R U R' U R U2 R' U' R U' L' U R' U' L [15/39]
U M U M U M2 U M2 U' M' u2 M' u2 [13/52]

A lot of moves but pretty easy.

Uhm... Are you sure about the cube rotation? It does not seems right.
