Please post a solution with your scrambles, as I can't see anything good about this one, or many of yours. Just saying "lol" at the end isn't helpful. Also, you'll get less easy scrambles if you use a random state scrambler such as qqTimer or Prisma.

Accidental XXXXcross on a side you didn't even mean to do with an OLL skip? If using Petrus, EO+F2L+OCLL skip covers it, but idk about CFOP...

Sorry does GQ timer work for scrambles http://gqtimer.kungfoomanchu.com/?modern=yes ?

 

[Renslay]

Many nice pairs. 3-move first block. I think it is very good for x-cross too.

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

My solution (also a very good LSE):
z' x'
D' R' F2 // First block (3/3)
U R U M' U' r U2 r' U' R U r R U2 r' M U r // Second block (18/21)
U R' U2 R' D' R U2 R' D R2 // CMLL (10/31)
U' M U' M2 U M2 U2 M' // LSE (8/29)

It scrambles, but not very well; it says 'old style' at the top, meaning it does 25 random moves: not a very good scramble. You can use it for timing, but don't post easy scrambles if they're not from a random state scrambles because you're going to get so many easy ones.

what timer/scramble site should i use?

Also, you'll get fewer easy scrambles if you use a random state scrambler such as qqTimer or Prisma.

There are others, but these two are the two most used timers as far as I'm aware, unless I've forgotten something.

I tried qq timer and got like 4 2-move crosses in one ao12. I also got a pll skip after like 3 solves, am I doing something wrong?

Are you sure it's set to random state? If it is, you're just lucky. Tbh, the problem is seen mostly with 2x2 and smaller puzzles. I still get things like this:

But 4 move solutions are far less common than on TwistTheWeb. Ask anyone about the scrambles (which are all old style) on TTW, they'll say they're easy.

Hahahahahah TTW


I have a sub 1 ao5 on there.

3x3 is ok mostly, but you get some pretty lol Xcrosses.

First post in ages to say that this is amazing. Easily the most worthy scramble in this thread I've seen in forever.
