Weekly competition 2008-14

3x3x3: 18.75 17.92 (27.05) (17.41) 19.28 --> 18,64 not bad!

FMC: R2 U R U' R' U2 B U2 F' D' B2 D F2 D' B2 D U F' L B R2 B L U' L (25)

I tried the (16 move optimized) FMC-scramble for 30 minutes but did not find a satisfying solution.
Then I tried the inverse scramble and after 20 minutes: bingo:

inverse scramble: F2 D' R' U' F' U' D F L' F2 U2 L' B' R2 D2 F2
explanation:
F2L minus pair: L' U L' B' R2 B' L' F U'.F' U2 B' U2 (13)
edge, cross + 2 corners: R U R' U' R2 (18)
leaving a corner 3-cycle.
at dot insert D' B2 D F2 D' B2 D F2, 1 move cancels

My 5x5x5 practise is really paying off, in the wrong place!
