3FMC:
Linear 1min solution:
FL2R2U2D'LD2)UB'RBUR2UR'U2R'UR2U'R'U2RU'R2U2RU2RB'R2URUR'U'RBU'
39 moves.

FR2L2D'U2LD2)UB'RB)R'UR'UR'UR2URUR)
Same skeleton as Mistarts. This solution is too obvious! It's asking for it! Perhaps I can find a better insertions?

No better insertions:
FR2L2D'U2LD2)UB'RB)R'UR'UR'UR2URLD'L'ULDL'R
Same solution as MistArts, 28 moves.

I hate getting the same solution as someone else, it's so obvious! I could have gotten this first if I tried it first. On the other hand, if we both get the same, really good solution at VA open, I'd be happy with that.

Triple tie for second place this week? This solution wasn't my style and wasn't obvious to me. Hopefully, I can use my style next week.

explanation:
twin 2x2x2: U D' F L D F' D' F2 B2 (9)
3th pair : B2 R' U'.R U B2 (13)
last pair + LL corners: U' F' R' F R U2 F D2 (21)
to solve last 3 edges at dot insert: F' L' R U2 L R' F' (28)

Congratz Arnaud with your very nice 26-mover!
(but I thought you did know the difference between edges & corners?)

Nice last pair + LL corners Gus, your endings are always great! I like how you and I didn't go for the obvious FL2R2 beginning (although it was the basis of my solution. I like twin 2x2x2 (opposite double X-cross) because you can turn them into adjacent double X-cross in 4 different (premoves) ways. It doesn't seem you tried to do that (your 3rd pair was short anyway)

And I usually know the difference between edges & corners, but after doing the whole weekly competition in 1 go, ending with FMC, I was a little groggy . I think the corner insertion can be done in better ways, but I didn't care anymore. The entire solution was my 3rd try and took me 10 minutes + 10 minutes for the insertion.

And congratulations to all the 28 move solutions. It is crazy to get so many sub 30 solutions. It seems like the level of FMC keeps improving in this competition and in the official ones (lately a new WR and Grzegorz Luczyna getting a 29)

Really? It's not your style? This is how most of my solves look like. What's your style?

Guys, very nice! I was too busy this week. I gave a shoot in an evening time and did't find anything below 30. You beat me this week. After double checking Arnaud's insertion, I confirm that there is no better insertion point.

Triple X-cross (Fusion of Fridrich, Petrus, and/or Heise) and leave 3 corners. I rarely try doing the whole F2L, which in this case lead to leaving 3 corners.
