With literally cold hands, as my first solve of the day, with terrible TPS, I got a good time for me on that scramble. 24.77. It's a good scramble for Roux as well.

I got only 13.57... ;(

That's nearly twice as fast as I got.

15.44 cfop
13.05 ZZ I did better with ZZ Than cfop.

i just got this stupid pyra scamble: L R B' R' U B' L R . BTW i solved on red face with l4e

 

[Llewelys]

Got this scramble from csTimer: D' L2 U2 B2 U B2 U F2 U F2 U' B L' B' L' F2 D' B R2

That's a 1 move white cross, 3 move yellow cross and 4 move blue cross.

Edit:
Look at this scramble: D U2 F2 L2 U' F2 L2 B2 U2 L' R' B' U' L2 U L' D U' R'
Nothing note-worthy right ? Now do this:
z // Inspection
U R2 U L2 U B2 D' // Cross
U2 L' U' L2 U2 L' // F2L 1

Spoiler

The entire bottom layer is solved wtf

[Llewelys]

Sorry, should've said "nothing note-worthy for a 20 second solver": doing xcrosses on purpose is nowhere near my level
But I agree, it's a great scramble for an advanced solver!

Lol I've done heaps of x-crosses by accident... also being a 20 seconds solver

 

[Llewelys]

Oh yeah me too, for sure ! I was talking about doing them on purpose
I've intentionally done maybe like 10 xcrosses in total and my times weren't even that good because I had to double check if I hadn't destroyed the pair by inserting a last cross edge or something
I could work on them, but they're clearly not my priority right now

For 3x3x3, Cross on top Green in front. (I saw this on YT, so it might have been faked)

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

Solve:

x2, y2 // Inspection

R', B' // Cross

R, U, R' // 1st Pair

y, L', U, L // 2nd Pair

R, U', R' // 3rd Pair

[OLL Skip]

R, U, R', U', R', F, R2, U', R', U', R, U, R', F' // PLL (T Perm)


You can try to do it without the y rotation during 2nd pair, but it was worse for me.

My PB is 32, and within a few tries I got Sub-10 on this scramble.

It's a scramble lots of people use to get undeserved attention.

 

[KM the cuber]

How was this lucky? :/

It's a first layer skip you probably dd the scramble wrong

 

[alexiscubing]

I got a 5 and my PB was 8 before
Scramble: 1. 5.88 F2 L B2 U2 F2 R2 B2 R D2 U2 L F2 D' L B F' R' U R D F'
Recon:
Cross: U' R' B' U2 x'
F2L: F' U F U2 F U' F' U L U' L' U' R' U R
OLL: U2 F R U R' U' F' U' sune
PLL: U M2 U' M U2 M' U' M2 U

(ik the OLL just panicked becuz of the free F2L)

 

[fun at the joy]

I got a scramble a little while ago (actually 6 months)
With that scramble I got a 8.92 which was my PB at the time.

Scramble: D2 B R D2 R' U2 R F2 D2 R2 F2 R' U2 L' U R' B U2 F D L

My solution:
y' z2 //Inspection
L F L F2 D //X-Cross
y' U R U R2 U' R //2nd Pair
y' U L' U L U2 L' U L //3rd Pair
R' U2 R U2 R' U R //4th Pair
Fw R U R' U' Fw'
U' R U2 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 R //LL

different solution including xxx-cross with pseudo slotting and a PLL skip

x z' //Inspection
Rw U2 F L F2 R U2 R' U F' U' F D //XXX-Cross
L' U' L //4th Pair
U' F' L' U' L U F //LL

Try this weird as 2x2 scramble: F R2 F' U2 F R' F2 R U2 R'

Its basically an algorithm from 2bld, which I dont know lol, or a cube in a cube pattern
