FMC: L2 U' F2 U' R2 B2 U' B2 L2 D2 B2 R D2 L' D2 U B D' L R F

my solution (40)
x' y2 B' L B' U B U' D' F2 (x-cross, 8)
L2 U' L2 B U2 L B' F U' F' (rest of F2L, 10)
L F' L2 B L2 F L2 B' L U (OLL+AUF, 10)
B U B' R2 Uw' R U' R' U R' D B2 (PLL 12)
F2L = 18, LL = 22

Save the AUF for the end, then you get a cancellation between OLL and PLL, so it's 39 total.

Nice F2L though.
 
Did ye ken...

- Charlie is a superstar!
- Kirjava is a dirty smoker, and I'm a hypocrite :p
- James-Dean is bad-ass!
- Joey got a 47.81 in OH because he was watching Rowan get sub-20 (well done Rowan!)
- Dan Harris likes ZZ
- Rowan loves the number 11 :p
- Jeff Snyder is a biker :cool:
- Cool to finally meet Pat after missing him at the UK open. <3 the American accent :)
- I now have an official 44 sec solve :fp
- I really do like FMC :D
- I had to run for my train and only just made it (by 1 minute).
- My lovely white trainers aren't so lovely and white after an epic RATM gig!

I really enjoyed this comp, despite my terrible results! It was great fun meeting so many cubers in such a friendly atmosphere. It's a pity I couldn't stay longer for drinks afterwards.

EDIT: Charlie, is my DNF FMC solution still kicking about by any chance?

Tell me more...how many moves, and why was it DNF? You've had some nice weekly comp results so my (joint with Jude) NR was always going to be under threat...

Lol, it was nothing to rival your record, don't worry :)

It was quite a difficult scramble, no 1-move 1x1x2's so I decided to start with a ZZ-style approach. I did a funny EOLine+first block combo and ended up with 4-corners left after 22 moves. Desperately tried to find a nice cancelling 3-cycle to solve the first corner, but couldn't find anything. Then, about 10 minutes from the end I just bit the bullet and went for a non-cancelling insertion for 1 corner, and quickly tried to find a 3-cycle for the rest. Thought I'd found it (with one cancellation) but it must've been wrong because when Dan Harris checked there were three corners left. It would've been a 37-mover but instead was a DNF. Kinda gutted since it would have been the only event I did OK in :fp
 
4 corners after 22 is alright...but 3 would be 100 times better :) Shame about the lack of cancellations. Maybe you cycled the corners backwards. Btw there are 2 1-move 2x2x1 blocks on the inverse scramble (F2 and R I think)

Yup, 4-corners isn't ideal. Don't know why I didn't try the inverse. I guess the EOLine was pretty nice so investigated that first. I just realised that the normal scramble also had a block with L2, which I must have missed on the day. Based on that I found this skeleton
L2 B L U2 B' U' R' F2 D2 F' L D' L2 D F (15)
... but no good follow-on.
