I found this pretty interesting APB solution, 45 moves so nothing too good, but it was creative, doing BRpair first, then finishing 223 and doing EO-LXS too. Though there's tons of ways to get good solutions with a pre-made 2x2x2 block.

Also this ZB solve in 42 moves.

I thought in most scrambles theres alrady a premade pair(not always in the right position tho)
Also in apb, can you make a 1x2x3 and a 2x2x2

Yeah, most scrambles do have a pre-made pair which is always nice for APB, but it's most commonly not in a great position where it's 0-1 moves away from solved.
You can do 1x2x3 and 2x2x2 but that would require a different way to look at it, which could be good but I don't think there has really been much research done into the best ways to make 223+pair. Since doing the 1x2x3 roux FB or 2x2x2 Petrus style may not be the best way to do it, and it's probably one of the lesser developed areas in my opinion. Especially Roux FB since you usually don't care about the M slice, but with APB you need to solve the DFDB edges after so that adds moves that could be reduced with an optimised APB 223.

Rare hard scramble: U R U' R2 F U' F' U' R2 U
Lmk if you find a good solution for this
I got a 7.06

 

[Michael Wimberly]

Got this on 2x2 from csTimer. This is the easiest scramble I have ever seen: U' F R' U R2 U F2 U2 F2. I use the Ortega method, here is a reconstruction: 3-move white face, sune OLL, and PBL skip with U AUF. with white face down, here is the solution: R U' R' U' R U R' U R U2' R' U (12-move solution).

Hmm... What does 'lucky scramble' mean to you?


The luckiest possible scramble would give you a solved cube. That basically happened to me once, all corners were solved in a 3x3x3.

That's actually banned in wca

Its actually not "banned", you can get this "scramble" in comps.
However, if the cube is already solved, it wasnt supposed to be (misscramble) and so you just cant get wr or something on that scramble (the time doesnt count) and youll get an extra solve instead.
