Berkeley Fall 2017 2017 11 18 Scramble: R' U' F D' F2 R2 D' L2 U' L2 U2 R2 D' L' B' F' R' B' R2 D' B U R' U' F U L2 B D' F R // (6/ 6) D-cross + 2 pairs U R' U2 R // (4/10) insert pair B' U [B] // (2/12) insert pair [B'] F R' F2 R B // (5/17) setup 2 B-pairs F R' F' R (*) // (4/21) insert pair F U L' U' L F // (6/27) insert pair -> 3 corners Insert at (*): R B' R' F' R B R' F (cancel 2) Solution: U L2 B D' F R U R' U2 R B' U F R' F2 R B F R' F' R2 B' R' F' R B R' F2 U L' U' L F (33) Tried many other things before this yellow cross, then tried many other ways of using the two free pairs, including NISS. After findsing insertions for this (which were optimal) I discovered doing L F U are the first two lines, which is two moves away from B-F2L-1 with several ways to manipulate LL. Unfortunately I only had 7 minutes, and wasn't able to get anything good.
