Off-topic: Speed-solving

Day 1. No time for a FMC, here's my very first solution found in 14.54 seconds :-)

xzM'U2y'x'U'R'URU'R'Ux'
R2U2rU2rU'r'Ur'U'M'U2r'U'R
x'U'RUR'xU2R'U2R
U'M'UMU'M'UMU'M'U2M

Score: 52

This is also my very first solution : it's the way I would have solved it, I average about 50 sec with that method, I'm trying to switch to Fridrich-style F2L but too lazy to learn much more algs for LL :


R D R' D F'
[+3 edges] B U' B' U' B' U B
[3 white corners]D F' U' F D2 F' U2 F U2 R U' R2 U R
[last CE pair] D2 U2 R' U2 R U2 R' U R
[LL edges orient.] B U L U' L' B'
[LL corners orient.]F' U' F U' F' U F U' F' [U2 F
(PLL) F' U = ]U' B' U2 F U' F' B U B' U2 F U' B U
(64, 74, 61, 70)

I think I'll learn it and try to do it as fast as possible, that could be interesting to see how much time I lose in inspection 14.54 seems really easy to beat (cliquez pour voir l'animation)

If you don't have to think at all, aim at sub-10
Or even sub-5 if we find a solution with less than 25 moves!

't was a joke, Gilles
I took the idea from Macky's and Katsu's websites ... Katsu has a video of a 5.XX Fridrich solve ... just amazing Anyway, I wonder if I can break sub-30 or sub 25 with my solution ... I may try it this week-end !

My best after a dozen of tries with gille's FMC solution, seen as

(LFLD2)
(BU'F2)
(r'U'RU'r'U2rU2R'UM2)
B2U'M'U B2UL2)
= 16.23 s

Isn't it pathetic for me that you solved it for the first time 2 seconds faster ... I'll work on it !
