Cubemania just gave me this scramble for OH:
R' U2 L U' F D2 R U2 B D2 B U2 F' D2 R' U L2 F' U2 R' D B2 R' B D
Cross on U is formed, with an extra corner.
I got a terrible 26 on it :( :mad:. Somehow, I also pressed "Enter" during the round and cleared my times, so I never submitted...
Anyhow, this is a forced step skip, so absolutely lucky if you use the cross on U. :p

However, the next scramble I got was:
D L2 F R2 U' R D' L' B D2 L F L' F' R B' D2 F' L' D' F' U' R F2 L

This was 19.55, my third non-lucky OH (well, this one "non-lucky").
And then I got a 19.81 with an engineered PLL skip, two solves after...
(Hah, my first four non-lucky sub-20 OH solves within a single hour. :p )


Anyhow, I find the first one bizarre. I've never seen a random scramble give solved cross. I should only get an opp-color-cross about once in a million random scrambles.
 
Well if you scramble with white on U and green on F, then you get the white cross right ? Do people not scramble with white on U?
