2.66 for me. I suck at Magic
But I would definitely not call this solve unlucky, not even with quotes.

for the 3x3x3

I am just wondering but what program or website generated this scramble? The U's at the end seem to defy the logic that most scramble programs follow.

 

[MTGjumper]

Doesn't the fact that this scramble is basically the inverse of how a Fridrich solver would solve it make it seem a tad suspicious? This combined with the U U' bit at the end means its obviously fake, generated by bamman.

for the 3x3x3

wow, i sucked so bad and got 7.05

 

[not_kevin]

Hand-scramble, so it doesn't really count, but still... (I reversed my FMC solve for it: FMC people! Make this uber-low!):

F2 U' R U R' F' R' F R U' R' U F2 U' R U2 F U' F' D' R2 D' R' U2 L U L (27f)

And this is from a guy who barely gets sub-50s...

 

[dChan]

I got a 10.42 on this scramble from Cubemania... for a competition. It would have been an 8 or 9 but I panicked when I got to PLL.

Scramble with cross on front. I did this competition style so for me I scrambled with green on front and white on top then did opposite color(blue) to start the solve. So actually, if you don't know opposite color solving you should scramble with cross on back:

F' R' U2 F' U' R' F' R' U' R U R B2 L D2 F' R U' F L2 D2 B2 U2 L F2

My solution:

Spoiler

x2 D2 L U L' R' x' y R' U R U2 R U' R' U R U R' L' U' L U2 y' x R' U R' D2 R U' R' D2 R2 (29 HTM)

 

[Faz]

O wow! 7.89 - didn't read your solution. I got an OLL skip though.

EDIT: Double wow! Same solution. CN ftw!

 

[dChan]

@fazrulz: Haha, that's a coincidence! Nice job on whooping me. And I'd say opposite color solving FTW!!

EDIT: Oh, yeah, it was: http://cubemania.org/puzzles/2/competitions/15/March 08, 2009

 

[MTGjumper]

I did cross on back and also got the same solution. Didn't time it though because I've got cold hands. Pretty awesome scramble really

 

[dChan]

Haha, I guess for any Fridrich solver the solution would probably be pretty much the same if they saw that scramble. And, yes, I agree, it is an awesome scramble! I think it was a scramble for fazrulz's daily competition too on Cubemania(I knwo it was for a competition, just forgot which one).

Nice scramble, I got a 9.09 OLL skip =]

 

[JustinJ]

Nothing crazy, but R2 U2 L2 U' L B' R' B2 D L2 U B' D2 F2 D L B2 U2 F2 L2 D2 L2 B' D2 F2 has a really nice cross

Edit: Very nice 2x2. Was gonna be good but I dropped it and got 4.64
U2 F' U' F R2 F2 U2 F U' R' F2 U F' U2 R' F R' F' U' F R' U2 F R F'

Edit: Another good one for 2x2, it cancels into an R2 U2 R U2 R2

R2 F U2 F R2 F2 U2 R' F R' U' R2 U' F' U' F R2 U R U2 F' R2 U2 R' U

Edit again: Wow, when you practice 2x2 you get a lot of these.
