Weird FMC

[Kenneth]

Scramble genarated from the words : CROSS F2L ZBF2L COLL EPLL

Makes : B R U S2 F2 L S B F2 L B U L2 E R L2

Because B is close to C (in order), O is a bit like U, Z looks like S and P like R =)

Now the game is to solve the cube using CROSS F2L ZBF2L COLL EPLL in as few moves as possible.

I make my try later...

but z should be a z turn!

Maybe but that does not do any scrambling.

Additional rule is that x-crosses of any kind is allowed. Also, do not end in ZBLL, that's a EPLL-skip and that's cheating (like doing a normal FMC and ignoring an EPLL in the end "well, it was a U-PLL but I did not care" =)

Cross : (x) D R' D2 F (4 HTM) ... skip last turn = R' and merge with 1p first turn = R'

F2L :
1p : R2 U' R B' U2 B (10 HTM)
2p : L' U' L U' F U F' (17 HTM)
3p : U2 F' U' R' U' R (23 HTM)

ZBF2L : U F U' R U2 R' U' f' U' f U2 F B' R' B |F'| (39-1=38 HTM) ... horrible case.

COLL : |F| R' U2 R F' R' F U2 F' R (48-1=47 HTM)

AUF : U2 (48 HTM)

EPLL : B2 U R L' B2 L R' U B2 (57 HTM)

Darn "ZBF2L", if it was not for that crazy hard case this would have been pretty ok, had to solve it as the worst of the VH-cases =)

The solve was my first and only linear try, took some 15 minutes including checking the vadility.

Edit, did not make much effort to check this solution when I was done. I just realised there was a 2 turn cancelation between ZBF2L and COLL so I changed the move count above.

Anybody else? Like to but does not know COLL?

If you do not, then use the COLL's from a web page and include a link to the page in your solution. Or even better, try a ZBLL page, then you can avoid EPLL-skip, even force a U-PLL from picking the proper alg.

I know, you shall only use algs you already know for FMC but we make a exeption in this case

Guess it is the same thing for ZBF2L but in that case you can always find something that works from the use of your intuition.

I'll do it, but not with ZB.
