Challenge! Reverse the Scramble

[stoic]

Time: 14.39
Scramble: R2 D2 F2 D2 R D2 R B L2 D U' B2 R2 D B' L B D R' D U' F' L' F2 B2
Cube: Fangshi

Did 5: 16.90, 15.87, 16.12, (19.12), (14.39) = 16.30

Good challenge, although it gets harder to read the scrambles forwards...

I am going to add a blind edition! Overall the same rules apply but I am going to re-write them to avoid confusion.

Also read carefully how to play!!

RULES:

1) You can only use a scramble ONCE and only once
2)You MUST use qqtimer. And no using joke scrambles or bad scrambles from qqtimer.
3)The cube must be solved when you are done!

qqTimer:http://www.speedsolving.com/timer/qqtimer.htm

How to Play blind edition:

1.Scramble cube
2.Start Timer
3.Memorize Scramble Backwards
4.Don blindfold
5.Execute Scramble Backwards

All this will be in original post.

The blind edition looks hard... especially for me... someone who isn't much good with memory things. Can we instead scramble the cube backwards and memorize it forwards?

Sure. You can do that. I will make it so if you scramble forwards and memo backwards you earn a star next to your name because it is more challenging. But if you do scramble backwards and memo forwards your time will still count you just don't get a star. Kinda lame but it is the best solution I can come up with.

Gah. 5.86 on third try.

 

[Mike Hughey]

For the regular version, most people who practice fewest moves very much will be nearly the same speed applying a scramble backwards as applying it forwards. It's a useful skill to have when doing fewest moves.

By the way, I'm really slow either way. My first try:
13.34 F B2 U2 F U2 B2 D2 R F' B R' D' B2 L R' F' B D' B' R2 F2 D2 L U2 D

i did the forward blind edition. (scramble backwards and solve with original scramble)
1. 4:35.36 L' B R' F' D' R F B U' F2 U2 F U2 D2 F2 D2 F D2 B D2
(i allowed myself to add "6. Stop Timer" to your rules because i think thats what you want us to do.)
audio memo in blocks: [L' B R' F' D'] [R F B U'] [F2 U2 F U2] [D2 F2 D2 F] [D2 B D2] i accidently did the 4th block before the 3rd one and had to go back otherwise it would have been around 3:40 i think.
yay UWR!

edit: 2:33.42
F2 L F U2 F2 U' B2 R' U' L2 B' L2 F2 U2 B2 U2 R2 F2 D2
memo: [F2 L F] [U2 F2 U'] [B2 R' U'] [L2 B' L2] [F2 U2 B2 U2 R2 F2 D2] this is actually funnier than i thought

I will break this soon, hopefully

Since when does a reverse cramble solve the cube?

 

[Mike Hughey]

First try at BLD edition:

5:00.13 R' U L' F D' L R B' F L2 D2 R2 U2 R U B2 L' B' D2 L2 B F L' B R

Just awful. I know I can do better. At least it was solved.

I just thought of a better way, I should try again.

Since when does a reverse cramble solve the cube?

Scramble + Inverse scramble = Solved (or starting position)
Same thing as doing (U F2 D) (D' F2 U') = Nothing

BLD 2:06.15 Scramble, reverse scramble memo, solve. (Harder way)


2:06.15 L2 D2 F U R F D F' B' L U L2 D R2 D' R2 D F2 R2 D' R2

Offcourse the inverse solves the scramble.
The reverse does not.
