Easy / Lucky / Hard / Weird scrambles Thread

I just got this pyraminx scramble:
U R L' U L B U' L' B' r' u'
I tried this scramble using Charlie Cooper's method, which I believe is a slightly different variation of Oka? (I'm not too well versed on pyraminx methods so I don't know who originally invented the method), and found a very easy solution. Can any more seasoned pyraminx solvers see what sort of times could actually be achieved with this scramble?
 
wtf. someone can sub 18 BLD this probably

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

40% of the cube is already solved.

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

From Prisma. I'd like to know what people can do with BLD/FMC.

On Ben's scramble: 40.60 (16.50 memo)
On ThomasJE's scramble: 46.30 (14.51 memo)

lol... not counting the first one as a PB (and the second one isn't a PB anyway :p)
These scrambles make me want to practice BH corners more, because on both I felt slowed down by 3OP.

I'm not exactly seasoned, but here's what I got:
With the red-yellow-blue tip as R/r,
U y' B L R B' U' L // gives us a 'xx-cross' on blue while setting up the insertion of the third edge
y' l R' L R L' // completes the layer and the RWB tip
u U y' L R U R' U' L' // solves the last layer
Alternatively, the first step of keyhole is already done, so it would be interesting from a Keyhole solver.
 
U2 D F2 B2 R2 L2 D' B2 D' R' B L R F L R' U' F' L B2 F' R L B2 D2

Cross on Bottom.

y' R D' L // Xcross (3)
R2 u' R2 u R2 // 2nd pair (5, 8)
U2 R' U R d' R U' R2 U R // 3rd/4th pairs (10, 18)
y2 F R' F' R U2 R U' R' U R U2 R' U // LL (13, 31)
