So easy X-cross on white + one pair in the top layer

I didn't expect the OLL+PBL skip; that could've been quicker.

Learn to 1 look 3 move inserts, it's even easier to see when your getting a LL skip because it always looks the same.

I can usually, I just don't often try. I don't really care about my times when using keyboard.

5 Move X cross with 2 pairs. I only saw the misoriented pair in inspection so I broke the other pair, but whatever. Second try: 7.99.

All F2L pieces are now scrambled among their slots. None in last layer. Wtf

115. 3.44 F2 U F' U' F2 U' R' F2 R U'

Didn't know the CLL, so did a badly executed OLL and got the worst PBL case (except the same case after an x2).


3. 11.81 F2 D R2 L2 D B2 U2 R2 L2 B2 U F' L2 D' L' U B U2 B R D U'
25 move F2L:

x2 y'
R2 D2 R' F R2 // X-cross (5/5)
U L' U' L U y' R' U' R // F2L-2 (8/13) (I didn't see the red/green pair)
U L' U L // F2L-3 (4/17)
d' L' U2 L U L' U' L // F2L-4 (8/25)

An alternative I came up with untimed, using Petrus:

F2 D R2 L2 D B2 U2 R2 L2 B2 U F' L2 D' L' U B U2 B R D U'
x2 y'
R2 D2 R' F R2 // X-cross (5/5)

y' R U' R' r' F2 r // EO (6/14)
u' R U R' D R U' R2 U' R // F2L-3 (setup F2L-4 (10/24)
U' R' U' R // F2L-4 (4/28)

U' L' U R' U2 L U' L' U2 L R // PLL (11/46)

Possibly the easiest scramble you could call fullstep with no cancellations.

17. 14.18 D F2 D' L2 F2 D F2 U F2 R2 U' L B2 L2 D' U2 F' D R' B F' U2
Can't reconstruct cross, but it left two pairs in U, and after the first inserted another pair was set up to a 3 move insert (unpaired). The fourth pair was in another slot... already paired together.
The only 'decent' time was because it was on my WeiLong; I can't find my ShuangRen.

26. 15.27 U R2 L2 D F2 D' F2 L2 D F2 U2 B F2 R U' F D B' L F' R'
Scramble with cross colour on F.

63. 14.77 R2 B2 U' L2 B2 F2 U2 F2 D' F2 D R U' B L' U' B2 L2 D R F'
So many pairs... maybe it could be good for FM? I don't know much about FM...

My solution:

Spoiler

x2 // Inspection
D2 L R2 U2 R // X-cross (5/5)
y' R U R' // F2L-2 (3/8)
U' y L U L' // F2L-3 (4/12)
U2 R U' R' U R U R' // F2L-4 (8/20)
L U L' U L U2 L' // OLL (7/27)
R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U2 // PLL (14/41)

Locked up so much on two F2L pairs and both OLL and PLL. With my usual TPS this would've been sub-8.
