Easy / Lucky / Hard / Weird scrambles Thread

I got sub-5 second try. :D

My solution (pretty obvious):
y' R2 D2 R (3)
d' R' U' R (4/7)
U' y' R U R' U2 R U' R' (8/15)
U y R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2 (12/27)

I've had a 3x3 speedsolve that could've been 28 moves with cancellations before. Time was 8.69. :(
 
Thinking about the 'amazing scramble' thread by syuhei,

i found this scramble that actually had the cross already solved, yay a cross skip!

Any block builders wanna FMC this?

R' F D2 R2 L2 // XXCross (5)
U2 F' U F U' F' U' F // F2L-1 (8, 13)
L U L' // F2L (2, 15)
L F U F' U' L' // Leave 3 corners (4, 19)
L F R' F' L' F R F' // Corner cycle (7, 26)

26 moves after cancellations, lolFMC PB.

D2 R U2 L B' L'
U' L' U L U2 L' R U R' L'
U L U L' U2 F' U' F

24 moves leaves an LL of 4 corners, one of which is twisted in place.

~~~
R' F D2 R2 L2
U2 F' U F U' F' U' F
L U F U F' U' L'

20 moves leaves 3 corner LL that can be solved with an 8 move commutator.

I'm going to look for insertions when I get bored.

You started off exactly like I did when I first saw this scramble. Double x cross and easy inserts. I got a PB of 10.88 for 2H. Fun part is that when I was following your solution I got to the same OLL I had the first time.
 
LOL scramble 17 move F2L. Got this from PPT while learning roux

LL skip if you did it like me, but I did the 3rd F2L pair in a noob way. I guess it ended up being all right though :D

y' L F' R' F2 y U' R2
R' U2 R U2 L U L'

y' R' U R U' R U2 R' U2 R U' R'

U2' r U2 R' U' R U' r' U2 (29)

5.83 = 4.9 tps

My first ever sub 30 FMC <3
Less than 5tps is embarrassing though - after the 2x2x3 I was kind of in shock at how easy it was :P

Got this from QQTimer, new personal best of 11.71 on it. Cross pre-solved, just requires a D2 to solve it...
