Reaching the opening position with the cube on 2

I would just love to know how White has a 4 cube here.

As Tim explained, there was originally a match score involved. But even for money, a lot more is possible than one might think.

For general application, play through this error-free sequence (Blue starts):

..... 65R-43Z-53H-F-41S-F-C-43K-31-F-61U-41H-41H-41R-41R

You are now back at the opening position with Blue (on roll) owning a 2 cube. From here, you can probably imagine how you might reach Tim's feature position with White owning the cube on 4 (though there are certainly shorter paths).
