Miswrite out of 34.

I had 26 to 2tc and didn’t even bother.

Miswrote a B as an R or something since I had a minute left to write the final solution. It would’ve been a 41 so it not a big deal.

25 to 2 twisted corners, spent so long trying to write cancellation off of an insertion that didnt even work (😅) which is a beginner’s mistake that I should be easilt avoiding. 

B’ D F2 B2 D’ R’ D L // 222 (8/8)
R2 F2 R’ F2 R2 F’ // XXCross (6/14) 
U R’ U R U’ R’ U’ R // F2L-1 (8/22) 
L’ U L F’ L F2 U F’ U’ L’ // Finish (10/32) 

Yes I know this is a stupid solution, I found this when solving my cube after finding the XXCross lol.

I had about 10 minutes to insert the 3c from the 23 move skeleton. Then… FMC inexperience kicked me in the butt. I had tried to sticker the cube without rewriting the skeleton with the one move on inverse (stupid, I know). I also found out with about 5 minutes of the attempt left that I had miswritten my original skeleton (💀) so when I got to fixing everything and stickering my cube I had a measly 45 seconds left. I ended up finding the 28 about 20 minutes after the attempt, so i wouldnt have found it even without the mess-ups, but i could've at least inserted a random 8 move comm for a 31 😭😭. Anyways, here’s the recon with optimal insertion/unlimited solution: 

B2 L2 U’ R B2 // 222 (5/5)
F U F (F’) // 223 (4/9) 
F U’ F’ L // EO + pair (4-1/12)
U’ B’ U B U F U F’ U’ L2 U // Reduce to 3c (11/23)

This could also be seen as: 

U’ B’ U B U L2 // F2L-1 
L2 F U F’ U’ L2 U // Reduce to 3 c 

 Skeleton: B2 L2 U’ R B2 F U F2 U’ F’ % L U’ B’ U B U F U F’ U’ L2 U F // 3c in 23

%: F2 L B2 L’ F2 L B2 L’ (8-3) = +5 

 B2 L2 U’ R B2 F U F2 U’ F L B2 L’ F2 L B2 U’ B’ U B U F U F’ U’ L2 U F // Solved in 28

Thus far, this is my best feeling attempt in terms of finding a good skeleton I just need to get faster and insertions so overall not too mad about the DNF :)

Huuugge skill issue 😩

Took to much time trying to find a good 222 😜 

Skill issue 😩

😭😭😭😭

So I tried EOLine + block building for the first time and let’s just say it went way better than expected (I’d say I average 40 💀). Oh yeah I found in like 35-40 minutes and just stopped checking for better things ;)

Meh I found a 9 move 2x2x3 on inverse that I expanded to a 13 move F2L-1 on the normal and didn’t find anything 😭

(D2 B2 U’ F2 D B’ R2 B2 L2) // 223 
R’ F’ U2 F // F2L-1 
(Basically spent 25 moves solving EO and inserting the last pair with AUF 💀, even the 5C insertion is probably better but I can’t do insertions.)

Found the F2L-1 in like 10 minutes and checked other options because solving EO/a skeleton didn’t seem viable but then eventually came back and realized that inserting the final pair gave a Pi COLL with an EPLL skip (I could just say I knew the ZB tbh) and no AUF.
