Between OLL and PLL, R F F’ R2 cancel to R

I cannot chechk your entire solution now, but this part is obviously wrong

And us getting so close on 6x6x6 on average is weird indeed.
I like the way we both think we had a good start and bad ending. If you compare our starts and endings you will see that they are nothing alike. My start was was only 2/3 of your start and your ending was a 2 look ll while mine was a 4 look ll. (It sucked doing 2 look PLL. I couldn't even use A-Perms because those gave me Z-PLLs)

Fixed. I just messed up on the explanation - the solution itself was correct. Maybe it was really right all along - you in fact had R F F' R2 canceling to R, since R' became R on inversion.

Yeah, we definitely differ on that. I've been trying to get more picky about my starts, like you, but this week wasn't very good for that - I was happy with this start because everything was just truly awful without the inverse scramble. I was thrilled when I found the inverse scramble so much better.
