Check this out. I had a layer skip in 2x2x2

2.34 Stupid locking up 2x2...That picture site has...unusual sponsers...

This is an interesting scramble. No U turns at all.
L' F2 B2 L2 B' F' L' D F' L' B F D' L2 R' B2 R2 F' D2 L F R L2 B2 L

And I had one with no U or R turns, but I seem to have lost it...

(cross colour on D): D U F' R2 F2 L R' B2 R' F L R2 F' L2 B2 F U B' F' D2 U2 R2 B D

6.83

X-cross: Y R D R D L
2nd + 3rd pairs: U D'(simultaneously) R U2 R' U2 R U' R' E (or E' not sure)
4th pair: L U' L' U L' U L
OLL: r' R2 U R' U R U2' R' U R' r
PLL: X U R2 U' R' U R2 D' R U' R' D

45 moves

extremely easy, could have done double x-cross but i usually mess them up

x-cross: y R D R D L'
2nd-3rd: U D' R U2 R' U2 R U' R' E'
4th: L U' L' U L U' L'
OLL: r' R2 U R' U R U2' R' U R' r
PLL: z U R2 U' R' U R2 D' R U' R' D

 

[Escher]

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

i think this scramble speaks for itself.

woah, oops guess i was too happy to notice thanks

you'd think after 3 years of cubing i wouldnt make so many mistakes...

EDIT:
Directly after the 4x4 above, Cubemania gave me this 4x4 scramble:
Bw2 R F R2 F' R U2 Bw2 Uw F' U' F' L' Fw' R D B' D2 Bw2 R2 Bw' Dw R U B R Dw' B Uw' Fw R Uw B D2 F R' Bw2 U2 Bw2 Lw
i wonder what thw probability for this is.

1:30.96 for me. Not lucky (I solve first 2 centers simultaneously)

 

[Bomber]

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

This isn't one of those scrambles where half of the F2L is done for you, it is plainly just a fun scramble to solve. Make the cross easily whilst making sure you preserve the pair and you'll be good. I found the F2L simply to be R U R's, it was weird and fun.

I only got 18.44, which isn't amazing, but I had fun!


And cross on 'D'.

 

[Raffael]

Another easy one from Cubemania:
3x3, cross on D
R2 U' R2 B2 L' F D' L' F2 U' F' R B2 R2 F L' D F' D R2 B D F2 R' U

L' D F' L2 D2 L (6)
d F2 L F2 L' (5)
U' R' U' R (4)
L U' L' (3)
y r U2 R' U' R U' R (8)
U2 x U2 r' U' r U2 l' U R' U' R2 (11)

37 moves HTM

Cross on D

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

I screwed that up so bad, really REALLY easy extended cross, then a kind of weird F2L.

 

[MistArts]

Cross on D

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

I screwed that up so bad, really REALLY easy extended cross, then a kind of weird F2L.

14.37 ; Horrible lock-up on the V-perm.

 

[Sa967St]

Cross on D

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

10.94 :/ sweet f2l, but the LL was kinda bad

 

[fanwuq]

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

i think this scramble speaks for itself.

15.08

Cross on D

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

I screwed that up so bad, really REALLY easy extended cross, then a kind of weird F2L.

13.97

By the way, my hands were very cold and I even popped while scrambling these and the lighting sucks. Expect them to be 20% faster when I'm fully prepared. They were incredibly easy scrambles.

 

[JustinJ]

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

i think this scramble speaks for itself.

11.08 with a PLL skip 0_0

 

[dChan]

Cross on D

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

I screwed that up so bad, really REALLY easy extended cross, then a kind of weird F2L.

Gah, I suck. I got 13.30 only.

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

i think this scramble speaks for itself.

Even more suckage, only 15.12. Both of these gave me a G-permutation.

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

Cross on right. 4 move x-cross with a preserved pair.

 

[Escher]

for BLD cubers - B F' U' B U L B2 D B F U2 F2 R2 U' B U B F D L B F L' U L

The edges on this scramble...
A very nice scramble for speedsolving too.

(highlight to see solution)


X-cross : x2 L' D' L R' B'
2nd Pair : L U L'
3rd pair : R' U' R
last pair + edge control : U R U R' U Dw' F R U R' F'
COLL : R' U R U2 L' R' U R U' L (i made this alg)
EPLL : M2 U M2 U M' U2 M2 U2 M' (41)

41/10.47 = 3.91 tps (it could've been sub 10, if i was just a bit better at COLL - Im learning it in lieu of CLL on 2x2, seeing as i barely do 2x2 any more)

 

[Rubixcubematt]

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

Cross on right. 4 move x-cross with a preserved pair.

wow 10.58 on that scramble 4 me. that was just too easy....

 

[Pr3miuM]

Check this out. I had a layer skip in 2x2x2

Nice scramble. I tried a random algorithm to orient some pieces and accidentally fully solved it. This is a 6 move solution.

After the scramble hold the cube so that the 2 already oriented pieces are on the top right and down right places. Then just do:

F R U R' U' F'

It kinda scares you when you don't really consciously try to solve it and just try an alg to see what happends and it's just done.

hadley - 8.98
escher - 9.59

both non lucky. : )
