Post interesting official scrambles here.

I'll start with the silly Polish Open 2015 skewb scramble which currently accounts for 20% of the top 100 singles

What about the Harrow skewb scramble that had an opposite face solved and the top corners oriented, I don't have the scramble though.

WGC Open 2014 2x2 scramble was also quite interesting despite I failed so badly and got 1.62 I remember Robert yau getting 1.08+2=3.08 and ben whitmore 0.75

the super cuber · Apr 30, 2015

at NCR open 2015 on april 11-12th, in the 2x2 finals there was a potential WR scramble which came in the 4th solve of group A

Scramble- U2 R' U2 F2 U' R U' R U' R' U'

solution- z y U' R2 U2 R' U2

the best time on it was 1.51 and there were 1.91 and 1.94 solves on it as well.

The first 3x3 scramble of the thread. It was my official single PB for nearly 1 year, from Zaragoza Open 2014, 1st round, A group, 5th scramble. Lovely white cross+pair. Too bad I had an awful LL (I will always remember that V-Perm

)

3x3 scramble from mcc beta 2015:

D2 F2 U2 L' B2 R' U2 R2 B' F2 D B2 U' R2 F' R B L2 F

'twas the fifth scramble of the second round (scramble group B). i managed a low 11 with it, my solution led to a CMLL skip and an easy (or at least standard) LSE. very much had sub 9 postnatal for me, but i tend to do poorly in second rounds (i place too much value in 3x3 it seems :x)

Anthony, that was hilarious.

Something that I will probably remember forever:

Nottingham Summer 2014 Clock R1 group B #2:
UR5- DR6+ DL1- UL5- U2- R1+ D6+ L6+ ALL4- y2 U1+ R2+ D6+ L4+ ALL5- UR UL
2 move face, got a 5.9x but the timer malfunctioned

extra #1 was kinda meh, but extra #2...
UR3- DR5- DL3+ UL6+ U3- R4- D5+ L3+ ALL1- y2 U4+ R2+ D1- L5- ALL4- DR UL

There was this skewb scramble at the Singapore Open 2015 (last scramble in the final) which was basically a 3(?) move layer straight to Z perm. There were 5 4s and 1 5 on that scramble.

2nd pyraminx scramble at Yale Spring 2015 (not the actual scramble, I just plugged in the scramble image into umbrella)

judges kept sending it back to the scramble station because they thought it wasn't scrambled because from 2 sides it can look like it was just a slice move away from being solved

and I got a 2.37+2...

Justin's 6.80

I don't know what he did, but this is what I saw the second time I did the scramble:

z2 R D' U (R U R' U')x2 D

ugh why didn't I see this during competition

Second scramble of 2x2 finals at TOW2015: U2 F' R2 U2 F' R U' R' F R U

Everyone screwed up, we all missed the cancelled solution, somehow the best time was 1.57.

TyrantCuberKing · May 11, 2015

What was the scramble for the 3rd solve in the 2x2 at the Trentin Open 2011, from which the #1, #2, and #4 2x2 single solves all occurred in the same round, because the solution was a corner insertion followed by a U adjustment to complete the cube?
