A couple of weird BLD scrambles I got for my last multiBLD attempt (11/15 in 39:57 if anyone's interested. The 4 unsolved cubes all had the same mistake on edges because I set up parity incorrectly. Should be fine once I decide on a system and not just do it on the spot.)

R' B2 D' L' D' L2 B' R2 F' U2 L' B2 R' F2 U2 R B2 R' F2 D2 - super easy

7 solved wings and 10 solved centers. I've had some luck with scrambles lately, but this was an absolute gift. It's a shame I screwed up a part of center memo and recall during the solve.

Got like 30 as I was studying how to make it easy like you said... cross was easy but F2L was normal.

U' L' F' U2 L D' L U L U2 D' B2 U' F2 B2 D' L2 D F2 D

My solution for the scramble:

L2 E' L' B (4)
U2 R' U' R U B U B' (12)
L' U' L U L' U2 L U' L' U L (23)
U2 L U L' U2 L U L' (31)
U' F' L' U' L U L' U' L U F (42)
B U2 B' U2 B L' B' U' B U B L B2 U (56)

It's ok for me, but i really really suck at FMC, i don't know any other methods than Fridrich. I'm happy about that 4 move xcross anyway. Someone could help me with FMC, i would appreciate it.

Edit: Found a better solution


L2 E' L' B (4)
U2 R' U' R U B U B' (12)
F U F' L2 U2 L2 U2 S U2 S' (22)
L' U L U F U' F' (29)
M2 U M2 U2 M2 U M2 (36)

OLL-skip, this is really, really good for me, took me 10 minutes to find. This remains my best on this scramble


Edit: Another solution, not as good though


L2 E' L' B (4)
U2 R' U' R U B U B' (12)
F U F' L2 U2 L2 U2 S U2 S' (22)
L' U' L U F U F' U2 (30)
f' L' U' L U f (36)
B' U' B L2 u L' U L U' L u' L2 (48)


Edit: More solutions:

L2 E' L' B (4)
U' L2 U2 L2 U2 S U2 S' (12)
U R' U' R U B U B' (20)
U' R B' R' U' R U B U' (29)
R u' R U' R U R' u R2 B U' B' U2 (42)





L2 E' L' B (4)
U' L2 U2 L2 U2 S U2 S' (12)
U R' U R U B U' B' (20)
U' l' U' l L' U' L U l' U l U2 (32)
F R U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R F' (49)

This one wasn't too good...


Edit: 5 move XX-cross: E' d' R2 B R

Can't find a good continuation

Just FYI, in FMC the standard metric is HTM which counts slice turns like E, S and M as 2 moves, so your solution would be 43 moves HTM, though it could be 41 if you used optimal U perm at the end. I wouldn't have pointed it out if you hadn't mentioned FMC.

My solution:

U' L' F' U2 L D' L U L U2 D' B2 U' F2 B2 D' L2 D F2 D

y' U2 D F2 R F R U2 R // xxcross + pair (8)
U R' U2 R2 U R' U' F' U F // finish f2l (10, 18)
R U R' F' R U2 R' U2 R' F R2 U' R' U2 // COLL + EPLL skip (14, 32)

32 HTM
