1) in limit- 23

U L F2//sq
R' L'//222+sq
(B' U)//ps223, break one sq
U B L'//F2L-1
(U B U' B L' B L B2)//AB3C

U L F2 R' L' * U B L' B2 L' B' L B' U B' U2 B

*= R B' R' F2 R B R' F2 (8-2=6)

U L F2 L' B' R' F2 R B R' F2 U B L' B2 L' B' L B' U B' U2 B

5-Gen solution lol
fun fact: I didn't mean to do the L' square, that was for another separate continuation :p
yay!
stupid linear 24 i found in 8 minutes:

U L F2 R' L' B U B L' B'//F2L-1
U R' U2 R U2 R' U R2 B U B' U' R' U'//LSLL

I just joined, the time limit is 1 hour I assume? Do you have to specify it because it seems like everyone does so?

1) 24

R F2 // P222 (2/2)
B2 L' // P223 (2/4) (found these after starting with (D' R2))
I modified the inverse part a bit:
(D' R U' R) // 2x2x3 (4/8)
(U2 B U B2) // PF2L-1 (4/12)
B' // fix pseudo (1/13)
U' B' * U B U2 L U L' // AB3C (8/21)

Insert at * [F', U B U'] 8-5/24

Solution: R F2 B2 L' B' U' B' F' U B U' F U' L U L' B2 U' B' U2 R' U R' D

I had other skeletons as well but I was very pleased to see this one giving so many cancels so I didn't need to try them and do more work.

Wow, 3rd 24 for me this week, PB is 23



2) 25

(B' D2 L' D') // square (4/4)
(R B2 U' L2) // 2x2x3 (4/8)
D R2 D' // YW EO (3/11)
F' R F R2 D2 // F2L-1 (5/16)
R' F' R' F // AB3C (4/20)

Skeleton: D R2 D' F' R F R2 D2 R' F' R' F L2 * U B2 R' D L D2 B
*[B' D B, U] 8-3/25

Solution: D R2 D' F' R F R2 D2 R' F' R' F L2 B' D B U B' D' B' R' D L D2 B

omg what is happening



3) 33

B' U L' D L // 2x2x2 (5/5)
U' R' U F2 // P223 (4/9)
(D2 F' R') // 223+EO (3/12)
F D F' * D2 R2 D' R2 F' R2 F D2 B' D' B D // AB3C (26)
*[F2, L B L'] 8-1/33

Solution: B' U L' D L U' R' U F' D F L B L' F2 L B' L' D2 R2 D' R2 F' R2 F D2 B' D' B D R F D2

Lol the choke. The scramble looked so promising. This was my backup, I spent a lot of time with the following:
(B U' F' R) 2x3x1
B2 R' F2 // P223
(F') 2x2x3

Found no good finishes really, I should really learn not to waste too much time with these non-EO blocks.


I'll have a comp next week, hoping to beat my 27 single and 29.67 mean.

Hi timnor, welcome here!
The official time-limit here is the normal 1 h (in-limit).
Off-limit (> 1h) is helpful for beginners to get a lower number, if you just need 2 min more for the 2nd insertion or you examine another way after the 1 h and find something great - or (in-between) had to go to lunch or rescue the neighbor's cat in a tree   
The off-limit-results are listed in brackets at the end of the week.

I am not too surprised that a comm involving the remaining 4 edges cancelled a lot inside that first insertion, but wow!
I also had a 4c in 18 and a 3c in 20 with the same start.

28, 29, 23 = 26.67
The last solve saves the day.
