Yep, I found it now, too (with both L's the other way of course :-).
This is fun. Kinda like "fewest moves for the impatient" who don't
want to
damn. that's cool (the slant pairing thing) . wish i had known about it earlier.

So I recently tried out corners first cubing... and i really like it.
It's kind of fune, especially since i solved it intuitively (well, i
used PLLs for orienting the last four edges, but it was all intuitive
other than that). now i know that you can get corners first pretty
fast... but im not sure
10 moves: U'RBU2B'L'U2LU'R'

I've been messing around with different starts for f2l, and this one seems
very viable. I start with three of the cross pieces, finish the 2x2x3 with
two f2l pairs, do the "square" like in Ryan Heise's method, and finish off
with the last c/e pair. Sometimes I'll do the square before I do the 2x2x3

Usually it's 1 or 2.
Also, when you start the memorization of the edges, look if any cubie
is in it's right position but flipped.
I usually solve this one at the end of the edge-part.
After a bit of practice,
Hey Evan,
You might have heard about the method that some other cubers use,
the 'cycle' method. Well, Stefan's method is not unlike that. You
also memorise cycles, but you memorise a cycle of stickers instead
of pieces. So, when have to memorise more than 1 cycle, my
memorisation looks a bit l
Communication would be easy though, assuming both cubers use the same
memorization technique.
