So, you might ask why this solve was removed. Well, about 15 minutes before being called up to do this solve, a kid (who got the scramble for himself earlier in the round) came up to me and said "DUDE, PRACTICE THIS SCRAMBLE FOR ROUND 1 FIRST SOLVE -- IT'S SO GOOD YOU'LL GET WR ON IT". I proceeded to push him away because it's illegal to discuss scrambles at competitions. But, in the process, I got a peak at the cube and had a *rough* idea of the solution (although I didn't know it exactly).



Because of this, I admitted to the delegate of this mistake right after this solve (you can see the guilt on my face at 0:30), and thus had to redo this solve (and I failed) with another scramble. The truth is that I didn't even practice the scramble or anything like that at all, and anyway, anybody could've just watched somebody solving with the scramble and get the rough idea that I got. It's too bad that, yet again, I failed to get a good 2x2 single.



I also would've gotten world record average of 5 if it wasn't for this, because I also got a 1.37 and 1.46 later in this average. It would've been a 1.55 average. ;(



Scramble: F' R2 U2 R'

Solution: R U2 R2 F
