Nice! The first L' should be a L though.. I have never had a LL skip that I kniow of.. I had 22.10 on Yellow cross with no skips..

No, it's an L'. Check again.

No, it's an L'. Check again.

Oops, you are right..

Wow, that is amazing! I wish I coud do that.

Wow, it looks like a real cube is just sitting on the paper.

 

[sneaklyfox]

I wish I could do that too. I subbed. His drawings are amazing... looks so real!

I had a 12.26 full step single in my coffey break. Jay! Scramble is lost unfortunatly..

Wow man, you are getting too fast. Was it easy cross or F2L? Or awesome lookahead?

I had a nice full step solve about a week ago. Have a go at this scramble if you fancy going for a good single time:
D' R2 F D' U2 B' L F2 D2 R' B L2 D R' U2 F U' L' D' R D R' L2 B2 U

I won't post my solution here as it may spoil the solve but I posted my solution in the easy / lucky thread:
http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s...rambles-thread&p=987990&viewfull=1#post987990

I never figured out the (mis-)scramble for my luckiest solve ever... one move cross, ~15 move F2L then a LL skip. It was untimed... doh!

Easy (yellow) cross, All pairs like R U' R (or something), OLL 28

and PLL Ua

I also had a full step 14 on camera today.. But the average of 12 was 20.12.. and I am not going to bother you guys with averages over 20 seconds..LOL

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

I am going to try that one..

EDIT: 16.32.. if it wasn that I had my worst PLL Na (z) (U R' D R2 U' R D')2 (z') it would have been so much nicer

Have You tried this Na: R' U L' U2 R U' M' B r' U2 R U' r ?

 

[MarcelP]

Have You tried this Na: R' U L' U2 R U' M' B r' U2 R U' r ?

Wow.. nice... Thanks..

Lol. I didn't like my last layer either... both OLL + PLL were cases that I sometimes lock up or trash the F2L so I did them "cautiously". It was still a PB single despite the LL - 15.53.

I use the long Na algorithm which includes Jb (where the Jb is similar to T-perm) and the overall TPS is better than many of my PLLs.
R U R' U (R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R') U2 R U' R'

Since everyone is annoying you with scrambles, I might as well too. Try this: D U' R' L D B' F2 R2 L2 U2 D' B' D R2 B L D2 F L' B' F' L R' F' L (scramble with cross color on bottom) It is my single PB: 13.14, hopefully you will see the 5 move double x cross which was a surprise to me.

Spoiler

y // inspection
u' L' R F R2 //5 move double x cross
U R U2 R' U2 y' R' U2 R U' R' U R // 13 moves
y' R U' R' // 4th pair Lol
F R U R' U' F' R U B' U' R' U R B R' // OLL
R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' // T-Perm PLL
U// AUF

I found a nice solution to that scramble when I saw it in the easy thread. After a few tries I had a 8.xx stackmat. I will write down the solution when I have a cube in my hand.

Scramble with cross on bottom

D' L' R F R2 //xx-cross
y R' U R U L' U' L // #3
R' U' R U' R' U' R //#4
Left hand fat sune // OLL
U2 J perm // done

 

[h2f]

Wow.. nice... Thanks..

I've taken it from Plechoss' (Michał Pleskowicz) OH PLLs.

That's Nb If you want a good Nb, try R' U R' F R F' R U' R' F' U F R U R' U' R or its inverse R' U R U' R' F' U' F R U R' F R' F' R U' R.

D U' R' L D B' F2 R2 L2 U2 D' B' D R2 B L D2 F L' B' F' L R' F' L

You should use a random state scrambler like qqTimer, csTimer or cTimer. You'll get better scrambles.

I agree, qqtimer and cstimer crash on my stupid computer, so I use an app on my kindle. I will check out cTimer. Also, does cubetimer have random state?

Really, why?
Also cubetimer is the worst online computer timer I've ever seen; don't use it unless there really is no alternative. It uses 25 move 6-gen scrambles for 2x2. And no it does not have random state scrambles.
