SOLVE:F' B2 D R2 F' R L' U M' B' R B R' B' M U L U' L' U' F U2 F' U2 F U' F' L' B' U' B U B' U' B U L F2 D L U' L U L' D F2 R U' R'
 
fmc R F' R2 D' R2 D U' R2 B U2 L'.L' B R B' L B R' B' B2 R B' R' B' (22)

explanation:
F' gives a pseudo 2x2x2 block
So switch to inverse scramble with pre-move F:
edge frame: B R B R' B2.L U2 B' R2 U D' R2 D R2 F R' F' (17)
pre-move correction: F (16)
at dot insert B R B' L' B R' B' L

Haven't touched a cube for almost 2 weeks. I'm on holiday in Spain (and I love beaches).
My first cube-contact was bingo: 24 moves in ±15 minutes (18 move frame on regular scramble with pre-move L')
half an hour later I found this 22-move beauty.

3x3 FMC: F' B2 R' U2 B2 U2 B' R B2 R' B' R B' R2 U R' F R' F' R' L' (21f)
Solution found in 15 minutes!!

2x2x2: F' with premove L' (2)
Switch to inverse:
+1x2x2: R F (2/4)
Back to normal:
1x2x3+1x2x2: B2 R' U2 B2 U2 (5/9)
Back to inverse:
F2L+EO: R' F' R U' R (5/14)
Sune: R B R' B R B2 R' B (8/22)
1-move cancels

WOW ... SOOO happy with this! Amazing scramble. When I got to the end of F2L, I saw the sune OLL ... then my heart started beating ... I realised that it is the sune ZBLL case :D :D

No prises for guessing it's a PB :) ... previous best was 28!
VERY IMPORTANT: this is not my solution! my solution can be found on page 2 and is 32 moves!!!
After I finish my FMC try,I look other people solves to learn new methods.
When I was looking at yours I made a mistake at the end and found a better ending to the solve:
Pre: L'
2x2x2: F'
Inverse with Pre: F
2x2x2: L
1x2x2: R F
Scramble with pre: F' R' L'
2x2x2: F'
More blocks: B2 R' U2 B2 U2
Inverse with pre: U2 B2 U2 R B2 F (6)
2x2x2: L (1)
F2L: R' U' R D B' D' (6)
LL: (D') R D L' D' R' D L (7)
20 moves :)

Mike Hughey:

My non-BLD event of the week:
3x3x3: 21.28, 23.86, 23.33, 23.61, 22.00 = 22.98
Comment: Nice!

The BLD events:
2x2x2 BLD: 23.55, 25.46, 31.03 = 23.55
Comment: At least these were good this week.
3x3x3 BLD: DNF [1:37.30], DNF [1:37.25], 2:17.78 = 2:17.78
Comment: Bad. First one 2 edges flipped, second one 2 corners twisted, third one had a bad memory recall delay.
4x4x4 BLD: 7:10.44 [4:01], DNF [7:40.43, 4:14], DNF [8:17.22, 4:23] = 7:10.44
Comment: At least the first one was good. Second one off by 3 corners (did algorithm backwards); third one off by 2 centers, 4 corners, and 8 wings (missed an R2 somewhere).
5x5x5 BLD: DNF [16:22.88, 9:21], DNF [17:00.97, 10:23], DNF [16:07, 8:40] = DNF
Comment: I hate DNFs!!! They were all as close as possible without succeeding. First one off by 2 X centers (not sure why); second one off by 2 X centers (didn't see the last piece when memorizing); third one off by 2 + centers (did algorithm backwards). So bad.
3x3x3 multiBLD: 4/4 = 4 points, 18:26.55 [13:04]
Comment: I had a rough time during memorization, but I didn't want to miss it, so I took my time getting it correct, and it paid off. Execution was probably the fastest I've ever done 4 cubes for multi. I caught several mistakes during memo; if I had gone just a little faster it probably would have been 1/4 instead of 4/4.

And non-BLD events done BLD:
2x2x2: 39.58, 29.09, 48.61, 31.56, 23.80 = 33.41
Comment: Not bad.
4x4x4: DNF [7:31.75, 3:49], 7:13.10 [3:45], DNF [8:30.56, 5:21], DNF [6:37.76, 3:18], DNF [7:31.75, 3:47] = DNF
Comment: Wow, that went bad. I tried doing all of these back-to-back as quickly as possible. First one was 3 moves from solved (messed up undo on wing parity fix); third one 4 corners twisted and 5 wings wrong (no idea what went wrong), fourth one 4 centers wrong (mismemorized), and fifth one 3 wings wrong (mismemorized one piece).
6x6x6: 38:32.50 [22:08], DNS, DNS, DNS, DNS = DNF
Comment: Slow, but at least I got it.
7x7x7: 2:27:16.69 [1:29:50], DNF [2:27:16.69, 1:29:50], DNS, DNS, DNS = DNF
Comment: This was the multi in my video. Hey, at least I got one. :)
Magic: 18.38, 13.05, 11.21, 17.88, 12.03 = 14.32
Comment: Done OHITABLD. I keep improving!
Master Magic: 4.94, 4.27, 4.28, 3.80, 4.52 = 4.36
Clock: 3:29.61 [0:44], DNF [3:20.43, 0:44], 3:28.94 [0:33], 3:37.66 [0:35], 3:12.80 [0:35] = 3:32.07
Comment: It's funny how completely unimportant memorization time is with this. It's all execution.
Pyraminx: 1:21.47, DNF [1:22.94], 1:21.33, DNF [1:08.69], DNF [44.22] = DNF
Comment: Bad. Second one was completely scrambled, fourth one off by 3 edges, fifth one had 2 edges flipped.

3rd solve was pitifully easy.

3x3: 19.31, 17.91, (22.55), 18.86, (17.37) = 18.69

3x3 OH: (48.18), 47.48, 45.11, 47.95, (39.63) = 46.85

4x4: 2:12.98, 1:59.85 [O], 2:09.33, (2:33.48 [O][P]), (1:57.71 [O][P]) = 2:07.39
Last night I had a dream about finally going sub-2 on 4x4 (I believe the time was 1:43.xx). Well, who'd a thunk it? 2 solves sub-2.

5x5: 4:34.21 [O], 4:38.64 [O], (4:51.57 [O]), 4:21.67 [O], (4:21.63 [O]) = 4:31.50
Damn parity.

3x3 FMC: 28
Premove: L'
Scramble: D F2 D2 R2 U' R U2 L' F U L2 U2 L' D2 U B' U2
Solution: F' B' R2 F' U F2 R2 F' B R' B2 D B D' B U F' U F U' F' U F U2 B' R2 L' L
Triple X-Cross: F' B' R2 F' U F2 R2 F' (8)
Final F2L: B R' B2 D B D' (6)
OLL: B U F' U F U' F' U F U2 B' (11)
PLL: R2 (1)
Undo Premove: L' L (2)
Absolutely amazing scramble. After 20 minutes of just staring at the cube I realized that I could utilize a premove. First time ever using one and it got me sub-30!
PyraMinx: 17.54, 17.75, 17.62, (27.45), (15.74) = 17.64
