Weekly competition 2011-47

[Pro94]

2x2: 4.24, 3.68, (3.14), (5.06), 4.11 = 4.01
3x3: (30.77), 14.88, 16.90, (14.04), 16.23 = 16.01
3x3 OH: (26.90), 35.65, 34.26, (1:03.38), 31.81 = 33.91

D2 F D' B D2 B2 D' B2 D' B' D' F' D2 R2 B R' U2 F R2 B F2 D F D' F2 B2 U F' D2 L2

On the inverse:
L2 U' [1st square]
D2 B R2 [2nd square]
F' U2 R B' R2 [2x2x3+2 pairs]
D2 F [Pseudo F2L+2 pairs]
D B D B2 D B2 D2 B' D [Leaving three edges (Last slot cancelling nicely with Bruno)]
F' D2 [Undo pseudoness]

So I got this skeleton (regular scramble):

D2 F D' B D2 B2 D' B2 D' B' D' F' D2 R2 B R' U2 F R2 B' U.D2 L2

Insert at dot: U' F2 B2 D F D' F2 B2 U F' (Three moves cancel)

Without a doubt this scramble has the potential for better solutions, but this was the best I could find.

Yarg.

Holy cow, today was a good day. To recap:
PB averages on 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5.
PB singles on 2x2, 5x5, 2-4 relay, 2-5 relay.
Fine, I can trade that for the bad 3x3 Match and 2x2 blind without crying too hard.
