I think you are supposed to make x-crosses and not get x-crosses

i meant succesfully got my first x cross cuz sometimes i tried to do one and ended up messing everything

How did cs timer generate a 12 move scramble
U' R' B F U2 F2 U L2 D L' B F
what are the odds of this happening

Here's the best scramble out of my 5.4 average (my time was 4.67)
Reconstruction and the other solves are on my progression thread

4.12 as my first solve

9.94 D' R2 F B2 R B D' L' U' R2 U2 F2 U' F2 D F2 R2 U2 L2 U2 L' @2026-02-11 16:44:20

8.165 downsolve. A better solution might exist actually

Yeah there is,

Spoiler

basically do a U (white cross, green front) and solve the red and green edges, then solve the red green pair. Rotate to orange then do R U R U2 L' U L to finish the cross and insert 2 pairs. Sledge sledge for last pair into a good OLL and a jb perm. Got a 4.909 downsolve with this solution

z2 U r U' r' U r U R' U' R D2 x' // xxcross
U2 R U' R' U R U' R' // pair 3
U R' U R U' R' U R // pair 4
S R U R' U' R' F R f' U' // OLL + PLL skip

4.24 first try

4.15 first try

In conclusion: Marty Kelsey is a lucky guy

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

Insane scramble with 1 move cross or 4 move xcross.
I got 6.43 with it but I'm sure someone here can do better.

 

[SpeakCuba]

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

These are the notes I wrote down for the solve as I did not feel like making a whole recon right now.

[White cross; Facing green. Insert Red Cross piece, then blue, then D' R D'. Insert blue/red pair into back with L U2 L'. Then, do the orange/blue into back, canceling into green/orange into front. Rotate to face red, then do the corresponding pair (Insert normally; no sledge). F R U R' F' into that OLL. Jb Perm.] Pretty nice solve.
