Scramble of the Week #1 (Wednesday 21 October 2026)

One scramble, everybody solves it. 3x3, white on top, green in front:

Code: 
U D' L' U' L' B2 R2 B2 L F' B2 L D' R' F L F L2 R2 U2 D2 L2 D L B'
Post what you did below: a full reconstruction, just your cross and first pair, or one trick you spotted. Any method, any speed; a 40-second solve with a clever block is as interesting as a 7. Want to try it blind first? Solve before you scroll.

Tip: paste the scramble and your solution into alg.cubing.net and link the result so people can step through it.

16.876 seconds...

I didn't really notice anything eccept white cross was eazy and I got a free Blue-Red pair at the end of F2L.
 
I panicked, so my block buildings were awful.

Still, I made a 14.88, which is not bad for me.
