SS makes my life wonderful :p

Woot!
Respect! Sub-3 average must feel great! =)
 
3x3: (23.88), 20.57, 22.97, (19.35), 20.84 = 21.46
Comment: OK, at least I got one sub 20.

3x3 MultiBLD:
1/2: 9:21:99 = 0 points.
Comments: It was 9:21:xx, I forgot the number of centiseconds. Not a good result for me.

I also got a 37 move solution for FMC, but I can't find my solution now. :(

SS, do you just use the CLS algs, or are there shorter ones for 2x2 that you use. Could you link me please?

CLS algs are WAY TOO LONG for the 2x2x2. Try some out on your own and you'll see what I mean ;)

If so I'll take your word for it. Do you know the average move count difference in the algs? Oh and Thanks for the warning, I was about to start.

The only 2 people in the world known to know full CLS: Lucas Garron, edd5190.
The 3 founders of SS: Erik, Swordsman Kirby, watermelon.

They're ALL on this forum, ask THEM :)

Hi,

I'm back from a long holiday.
Picked up the cube again.

FMC: R2 F D2 B' R2 L2 B2 U' F' U2 R D R' D' R2 U' B U B' U' D B2 R B2 R' B2 D' R' U R D' (31)

explanation:
turn prescramble move D' to understand:
Siamese 2x2x2: R2 F D2 B' R2 L2 B2 U' F' U2 (10)
F2L: R D R' D' R2 U' B U B' (19)
LL: U' D B2 R B2 R' B2 D' R' U R (30)
premove correction: D' (31)

Congratz Blah with your very nice 25-mover.
This is a good example of a scramble for the which the inverse is much easier.
My biggest mistake was not having a look at it.
Gus
