No, I didn't scrable the cube and play it in reverse. You can mostly tell this because I would've been doing the method solve in exact reverse, which would take more skill than a straightforward solve (notice the 3 parity solves I also do, which would be more skillful to do in reverse).
And wow @ solving a 3x3x3 in an hour from getting it at a garage sale. Nice!
