Last week's weekly comp, OH scramble #2:

/* Scramble */
D B2 R2 D' R' D' F' D R2 L2 B2 D R2 U D B' U2 B'

/* Solve */
z' y2 // inspection
R D2 r U2 // 222
x U' R U2 F' U' F' // cross and second slot
R2 U R' // third slot
U2 R U R' U' R' U // cancel into last slot
z' R' F' r U' z U' R2 D // last layer

// View at alg.cubing.net

Somehow I got the third fastest time for this particular scramble (12.62).

I got this scramble on cubedesk - 4.97

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

I got pll skip and 1 free pair.

For reference i average mid-8, and this 4.97 is my PB-8(8th best solve ever) as of now

Solution

Inspection: x’ y



1st Pair: U2 L’ U’ L2 U L’

2nd Pair: R U2 R2’ U’ R

3rd Pair: y’ R U R’

4th Pair: U’ R’ U R U’ R’ U2 R U R’ U’ R

OLL(CP): U’ R’ F’ r U’ r’ F2 R



34 ETM – 6.84 ETPS




So it's basically FO instead of CFOP lol

Did the same thing for pair 1 and 2, but on pair 3, I did U' l U L' U' M', which I got a dot case, and a Y perm.
got 14.83

My friend sent me this last night while he was doing solves: F' D L B2 L' D2 R U2 B2 R B2 L2 F2 D' L2 U2 F2
4 move X-cross
Woah. Did double x-cross on white in 7 moves, F2l was alright, LL was also alright

Got this on csTimer. Check out white cross.

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

I managed my second best time ever, but couldn't quite PB. Would have been an easy PB on the second try of the scramble, though - in the first attempt I paused for a bit. :(

EDIT: Realised this scramble is probably better for me (beginner method) than others (probably literally any superior method lol), as it gives me the free white corners but not so much the F2L.

Awesome. Would you say it's also a pretty easy scramble for people who aren't beginners like me? Haha. Looks like an efficient solve.
