got 2.66

The 3rd pair should be y' U2 L U' L', I guess.
For the 4th pair, I'd normally do: y' U' R U2 R' U' R U R', which is shorter. Do you do that to force edge orientation?

Nope. I just suck and didn't see that. I guess I need to do more slow solves!

why am i not noticing anything stupid? Its a nice scramble, but nothing special.

Red bar in bottom left: U' R' U R' U (R U' R')

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

Red bar in bottom left: U' R' U R' U (R U' R')

that does nothing?

 

[cuberkid10]

That solves it...

Another 2x2 lol scramble: R' U R' F2 R2 F' U2 F U2

 

[TDM]

That solves it...

Nope.

That next scramble you posted was nice though. I still don't know how to recognise that case...

 

[shawnyboy]

D' F' D' B U' D B2 U2 L' F2 L D2 R2 U2 D2 B2 U lol got 7.23

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

That solves it...

Another 2x2 lol scramble: R' U R' F2 R2 F' U2 F U2

no it doesnt...
yes i actually know that TCLL!

Nope.

Its like pure Pi with the front-left corner twisted

Red bar in bottom left: U' R' U R' U (R U' R')

She did specify red bar in bottom left - try adding a z before the turns

Yes yes. I just suck with cube rotation notation.

Stop what you're doing at look at this 4x4 scramble from qqTimer:

U2 F2 D L2 U R' F2 Fw B D U' L' D2 L U' L' U2 L' D L' U Rw2 R2 D2 F2 U2 L' Rw2 U' R' D2 U2 B' R' B' L2 R D2 Rw' L

All half centers and lots of white and yellow pairs already done. Am I missing any other niceties? Also, do you know how to preserve most of it while finishing the centers? I'm a noob at 4x4 so I might easily be overlooking something obvious.

No that's what I saw, I just felt like there must be a much easier way to solve it than standard reduction or Yau because of all the preserved everything. Coulnd't figure anything nice out in 15 secounds though

Those Roux blocks...

 

[YouCubing]

2x2: F2 R U' F'
Even pretending like I didn't see that scramble, I still found the optimal solution for this, and got a 0.99
