This was a scramble that was taken from the weekly competition week 33 2015. It was take from the 3x3 match the scramble event.

Scramble: F2 L F2 U2 F2 D2 L R2 U2 F2 R2 F' R' U F' L' B2 R2 D2 R

This is by far one of the dumbest scrambles I've seen in a long while. It had a 7 move F2L-1 on blue.

I got a 7.66 on 3x3 before being warmed up. However, I'm more interested in it's applications to FMC. There seems to be a lot to work with on the scramble.
After all, a one move 2x2 block seems pretty good.

Not a realistic solution at all lol. Also a **** CMLL alg unless you're purposely doing EO control

45. 32.39 U2 D2 F2 D' L' B' R D' R' F2 R2 U' B2 U R2 U2 D B2 D B2

can't reconstruct my solution, but I had 6 move X-cross, 10-12 moves for the last two pairs, and an easy, sub-1able OLLCP with a U perm.

And of course I'd get this doing sim, which I hardly ever do.

ok, How is this relevant to the thread when not giving a scramble or really any proof? it's like saying I had a scramble once where I had a whole side solved.

I dont know, I was just sayin. I would post the scramble but I deleted my team blind session.

thought: I find it annnoying how the major speedsolving methods cant use solved corners. ZZ eoline only involves edges, CFOP cross will probably mess up the corner, and roux first block doesnt really benefit either.
