[Penguino138]

This had to be my worst average ever!!!! I kept messing up, and I had no easy crosses. Are you supposed to scramble with white on top and green in front?

^ That's official WCA scrambling orientation, but you can scramble however you want. I personally switch between WG and YO orientation for scrambling.
