Can we get a recon?

I don't think it's necessary I got a pretty bad time with it (13.xx) so I'd rather not.

 

[Thumbprint]

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

Pretty easy triple-x cross. Last pair was bad though, and last layer was alright.

 

[CB21]

L2 D2 L2 F2 R2 B R2 D2 F2 U2 B U F2 L F2 L' D2 L B2 U2

One of the easiest scramble I had

x2 F' R2 B2 D F' D / X-cross
U R' U R / 2nd pair
U L U2 L2 U L / 3rd and 4th pairs
U' F R U' R' U' R U R' F' / OLL
U' R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R' U' / PLL

UR1- DR5- DL5- UL3+ U2+ R1+ D0+ L2- ALL2+ y2 U0+ R6+ D0+ L0+ ALL0+

I'd like to see someone take advantage of this ridiculously easy first cross (somehow I didn't pb on this)

Curious to see what people can do with this. I'm playing with it right now to see what I can get.

Holy yes.

Lets see...

10.39
12.26
9.93
11.05
12.76
12.08
14.30 //bad
11.22
12.92
14.61 //bad solution
10.48
15.18
12.37 //probably the best solution I got
13.54

So I think the best way to solve it is to hold yellow top green front and do R B L U' R' L U L'and then the rest of the solve, as that is basically a xx-cross in 8 moves.

I found this solution that I like:
D2 R2 D' L2 D R2 B2 L2 U B' D' U' R2 B L2 B' R B2
42 STM
x2 y
XX-Cross: L' F (L' R') U' L' U' R
3rd Pair: d L U L'
ZBLS: U r U' r' U r U r' R U' R'
ZBLL: R U R D R' U2 R D' R' U' R' U R U' R' U' R U' R'

This is the best I could do with that scramble:
z2 y' //inspection
L2 F R' U' R L2 //xxxEOcross
U2 L U2 L' U L U' L' U L //F2L
F' U L U2 L' U' F L U L' U' L U' L' // ZBLL
30 STM

I got a 7.46 with this solution

Planned for cross and blue/red pair, accidentally solved two more in the process lol, didn't even see my cross was an x-cross
But there exists another solution:

z2 //inspection
L’ D2 L F // x-cross
R’ U2 R // F2L-2
y' L' U2 L // F2L-3 (here in my solve I did U L' U L instead)
U R' U' R d' R U R' // F2L-4
U2 x R2 D2 R U R' D2 R U' R // PLL

28 moves.

Woaj, that's a super lucky solve. GJ for taking advantage of it. I'm guessing that you use APB know but I'd like to know why you do EOpair in dFR (Obviously in this case it was better but dBR is often best, I guess this is proof of OS between pairs)?

Edit: I think this is WB too.

True lol.

GJ for taking advantage of it.

Thank you

I'm guessing that you use APB know but I'd like to know why you do EOpair in dFR?

I am considering switching to APB after my first comp which is on 15 and 16 january 2022. and I don't normally do EOpair in dFR. I do it in both dBR and dFR.

x2 // inspection
F R S' L' S // xxcross 5/5

most obvious solution to me
first solve i got was 6.43, best solve i got was 4.27 (only 7.7 tps lol)

What the heck is this scramble!!!!!!!!!!
22 STM
2.90 WITH ONLY 7.5 TPS. This has to be the luckiest scramble on earth (For now alteast)

Scramble with WHITE Top

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

Solve Red then Green Cross

Let me know what time you got!

I am sub 25 and got a counting 18, my pr2

 

[abunickabhi]

8 algs. The scramble had a 3 twist of corners.
I got 32 seconds. I think my memo was 11 seconds, so exec was 21 seconds.

I did 3BLD on this scramble fyi.
