[DYGH.Tjen]

People who can solve 3x3x3 crosses and 2x2x2 first layer fast, I wanna know from different people how would you solve some example crosses/2x2 first layers. Oh im colour neutral, so you can do any colour cross you want. (cross on bottom)

Scrambles:
3x3x3 (white on U, green on F)
1. L F U' B F U2 F' D2 U' F2 R2 B2 R2 L2 F' L2 B D' L' F' L2 R' U' B' R

2. R L' D2 B' U2 D R' B F' R U2 L U B2 R U' D2 R2 B' F' R2 U F B R2

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

4. B' L F' U2 R U R' B2 L' B' R F' B U2 R U' B2 F U' L2 B' R' D F L'

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



2x2x2 (white on U, green on F)
1. F' U' R2 U' R F2 U F2 U'

2. R' U F' U R2 U F U2 R2

3. U2 R2 U' R' F' U F2 U R'

4. R U R' U R' F R' U

5. U R2 U' F2 U' F' U2 R' F2

Please remember to specify whats your cross/FL colour, thanks

happy cubing,-tjen

I'm almost opposite colour neutral (yellow is a bit faster than white for me) and I'm not too fast, but here's how I would solve the first few F2L pieces in a speedsolve:

1. y' R2 D2 L B' y' R2 L' U' L D (X-cross on D)
2. y F R2 F x' U' L U2 R' U F' U' x' (X-cross on U)
3. y2 F2 L' F2 R D' L y' L R B' R' (X-cross on D)
4. y2 L2 F R' L2 F2 R2 F2 L F' R (2x2x3 on D) Sorry no cross
5. y2 L' F R B' R2 D' L (Cross on D) Yay/Oh no, it's just a cross
