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

One of the easiest scramble I had

x2 F' R2 B2 D F' D / X-cross
U R' U R / 2nd pair
U L U2 L2 U L / 3rd and 4th pairs
U' F R U' R' U' R U R' F' / OLL
U' R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R' U' / PLL

UR1- DR5- DL5- UL3+ U2+ R1+ D0+ L2- ALL2+ y2 U0+ R6+ D0+ L0+ ALL0+

I'd like to see someone take advantage of this ridiculously easy first cross (somehow I didn't pb on this)

Curious to see what people can do with this. I'm playing with it right now to see what I can get.
Holy yes.

Lets see...

10.39
12.26
9.93
11.05
12.76
12.08
14.30 //bad
11.22
12.92
14.61 //bad solution
10.48
15.18
12.37 //probably the best solution I got
13.54

So I think the best way to solve it is to hold yellow top green front and do R B L U' R' L U L'and then the rest of the solve, as that is basically a xx-cross in 8 moves.

I found this solution that I like:
D2 R2 D' L2 D R2 B2 L2 U B' D' U' R2 B L2 B' R B2
42 STM
x2 y
XX-Cross: L' F (L' R') U' L' U' R
3rd Pair: d L U L'
ZBLS: U r U' r' U r U r' R U' R'
ZBLL: R U R D R' U2 R D' R' U' R' U R U' R' U' R U' R'

single: 9.53
Time List:
1. 9.53 D2 L F2 R2 U L2 U' L2 B' D2 R2 B' R2 B L2 F2 U2 B' L2
z2 //inspection
L’ D2 L F // x-cross
R’ U2 R // F2L-2
y’ U L’ U L //F2L-3
d L U L’ d L’ U’ L // F2L-4
U R’ U’ R’ F R F’ U R // OLL
U2 R’ U’ F’ R U R’ U’ R’ F R2 U’ R’ U’ R U R’ U R // PLL

Planned for cross and blue/red pair, accidentally solved two more in the process lol, didn't even see my cross was an x-cross
But there exists another solution:

z2 //inspection
L’ D2 L F // x-cross
R’ U2 R // F2L-2
y' L' U2 L // F2L-3 (here in my solve I did U L' U L instead)
U R' U' R d' R U R' // F2L-4
U2 x R2 D2 R U R' D2 R U' R // PLL

28 moves.

1. 6.91 B2 U B2 L2 U' L2 U' B2 L2 D' F2 U' F U2 R B' D' B U2 F R
Reconstruction
z2 y // inspection
B' r' U r // 222
R2 U' R2 F2 // 223
R U2 R' // Pair
U S R' f' U2 F // EOpair
S' U2 S R U R U' R' // L3P
25 moves / 6.91 = 3.61 TPS
One of my best APB single
Woaj, that's a super lucky solve. GJ for taking advantage of it. I'm guessing that you use APB know but I'd like to know why you do EOpair in dFR (Obviously in this case it was better but dBR is often best, I guess this is proof of OS between pairs)?

Edit: I think this is WB too.

x2 // inspection
F R S' L' S // xxcross 5/5
D2 L U L' D2 // 3rd pair 5/10
y' U2 R' U R U R' U' R // 4th pair 8/18
U2 L' R' U2 R U R' U' R U' L U2 R' U R // zbll

most obvious solution to me
