In the statistics tool, click "solves/total: n/n, Mean: xx.xx". That should give you all scrambles for the session.

You can still have it. Take Options/statistics mark "print scrambles in statistics". Next click on mean, avg 3 or 5 and you have time and scramble.

Dang ur gettin a lot better.... screw x2.... yeah thats definitely not the right scramble....

How many LSE cases are there with EO done and UL and UR solved with a random AUF? If you add in cases where you solve UF and UB instead?

12*4 = 48, double for UFUB solved, subtract 8 repeated cases, total = 88

Does anyone have a good alg for this case?

At the moment I use U' R' U r U2 M r' U' r, which I don't really like.

Srry idk a better one. I usually try to avoid something like this during square by influencing the last pair. You could always do B U2 B' r' U' r. Im pretty sure ry and guroux will have a better magic slice thingy.

R' U R U' R' U R U2 r' U' r
R' U F' U F R U' R' U R

i prefer the 2gen one tbh

 

[MWilson]

I prefer a quick M or M' to set up one of the typically fast <R, U> inserts.

M U' R' U2 R U R' U' R
M' U R' U2 R U R' U' R

Why does algdb have F U' L' U R2 U' L U R' l' U' x' for CMLL T4 (i.e. F4) when it's identical to (but slightly longer than) F U' L' U R2 U' L U R2 F'? Is it something to do with finger-tricks or has just no-one noticed that clunky R' l' in there?

Finger tricks more than likely, I don't use it and I prefer yours myself after trying them both, but personal opinion. I like the R' l' thing in other algs though.

I think I'll just go with one of these for now, thanks.

I still use the super duper fast CFOP y R U2 R' U R U' R' Works everytime.. Maybe that's why I am still averaging over 30 secs

Yes, I used to use that, but it needs a rotation. I try to avoid rotations wherever possible in Roux solves after my first block.

I just setup to similar superfast cfop case:

M U' R' U2 R U R' U' R

But I suck at roux so I dunno

I use the same one as you. Just an awful case....

If I were better at U flicks with left index, I might try:

r' U' r U r' U' r U' r' U r

Credit to GuRoux for teaching me a similar case in one of his vids.

I don't need to use my left index for U with this alg. It's probably too long for me to use, but here's what I would do for fingertricks:

Start with right thumb on U, right index/middle on B (middle isn't really holding onto the cube, it's just resting there), other two fingers on D.

r' - right wrist
U' - left index
r - right wrist
U - right index
r' - right wrist
U' - left index
r - right wrist
U' - left middle
r' - right wrist
U - right index
r - right wrist

Dang ur gettin a lot better.... screw x2.... yeah thats definitely not the right scramble....

Usually you don't count mis scrambles as PB's (as I see you did in your sig); Riley Woo's 3.52 is an extreme example. It's annoying to mis scramble, but in comps it's super important not to for the scramblers.
