Hi all, first example solve here.

On this thread, should I post the first solution that I got (below), or the solution that I wish were my first solution (above)?

First attempt:

This thread is currently most of the sq-1 solves I'm doing lol. Still making slow progress with PLL+1 notes, not much left to do.

Seems like the second move in the solution above should be (0,1) instead of (0,2).

Fixed!

Why? This way is the best imo to do that G in D layer (J+N). Optimal is 7 twists btw.
