[Attila]

Nice to see you back, Attila, care to explain how you come up with these LSE solution?

Spoiler

The second solution easier to explain:
all corners -2 moves case, i complete the corners, (BFU2B2) while also listening to the orientation of edges is not undermined by. For example F2R2 moves also solve the corners, but worse case gives.
Then i solve the last 2 edges on opposite sides, (UFB’R) .
The first L6E case is much more difficult.
First time opposite side should be set the place of the two missing edges, : D2F. (the corners is a bit scramble, then in the end will be re-setup). Then i solve these two edges, to be the last four edges good oriented: L’F2B2RBF’UBF’L’. This is a simply Roux-style alg., which uses only M and U moves. Finally must re-setup the corners, (B’L2B2D2F2) at the same time to look at the middle slice edges position, (for example F’D2F2L2 also solve the corners, but remains a few moves.)

3x3x3 multiBLD: 9/10 in 43:43
I actually memorized 11 cubes, as one was memorized misoriented and I did not noticed it until the end. I memorized it correctly last and solved it first. Strangely, this cube ended fully scrambled (and in the right orientation):confused:. I did not got a scrambled cube since very long. That was supposed to be a safe solve, it is disappointing.

Comment: Each time worse than the last -.-
4x4 - 2:12.22 (1:25.43 DNF) (2:01.52 DNF)
Comment: 3rd solve my father took the cube out of my hands and banned me from cubing for a day -.- he needs to live more
7x7 - 7:47.93 (7:43.25 forced DNF, still edge pairing... so i abandoned the solve in aid of some rest *zzzzz*)
Comment: Done after a very long day so i was turning very slow

2x2 BLD - (1:28.43 DNF) (1:40.78 DNF) (1:26.32 DNF)
Comment: I need practice -.- and I need to change to letter memo

234 Relay - 3:27.37
Comment: epic fail, very bad edge pairing on the 4x4, fail ortega on 2x2 and incredibly bad block building on the 3x3 -.-

Megaminx - 4:26.13 3:53.24
Comment: pops so many times, even in scrambles, had to solve it 20+ times to complete these 2 alone, i may do the others or i may not depending if they pop on scramble
Pyraminx - (19.41+) 17.20+ 13.38+ (8.77+) 13.23+
Comment: not a good day for pyraminx -.- ridiculous first layer on 4th scramble, every solve was +2 lol

FMC: 26 moves F2 D L' F2 U2 B R D R' B L' B' L' F' L R D2 R' B2 L2 F L2 U B2 U' B'

Spoiler

Normal scramble:R U2 B' F2 D2 L' U L' F D L2 F D2 L U2 L B R'

2x2x2: F2 D L' F2 U2 (5)
2x2x3: B R D R' (9) (B was not needed, but made a much better continuation)
Switch to inverse scramble
EO and F2L-1: B U B2 U' L (14)
F2L and solve edges: B L' B2 L B' (19)
3 twisted corners left (optimal is 13 moves)
Solution so far: F2 D L' F2 U2 B R D R' B L' B2 *L B' L' U B2 U' B' (19)
Insert B L' F' L R D2 R' B2 L2 F L' B L' at * to cancel 6 moves.

Although I found the 2nd half in the inverse scramble, it's easy to see it in the normal scramble as well. It's just 2x2x3, then
Cross and both pairs: B L'
F2L-1: B2 L B' L'
F2L and solve edges: U B2 U' B'


Another continuation I found
Same 2x2x3: F2 D L' F2 U2 B R D R' (9)
Following was found in inverse, but I'll put it as if it were for the normal
Leave 5 corners: L' B' L B' L' U B U' (17)
Anyone want to practice double insertions ?

So much for the revision I was meant to be doing today.
