Got 13.83.... So much fail. I paused for at least a second after the XXCross because I was shocked.

This is probably the easiest scramble I have ever gotten in my cubing life. Not only is it easily sub-10able by any decent cuber but it can also have a 27 speed solution. YOU HAVE TO TRY IT.

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

X-Cross: z2 y' L2 U L'
F2L 2: (sledgehammer) R' F R F'
F2L 3: L' U' L R' U' R
F2L 4: y' U2 R U R'
LL: y' L U' R' y' R2 U' R2 U R2 F' B

17 move F2L
10 move LL
= 27 move solution
 
L2 F' B' D R U R2 D' R D2 B R2 B' L2 D2 L2 F2 U2 F' D2

5.27 lol

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

XCross: z2 y' L2 U L'
F2L 2: R' F R F'
F2L 3: R' U R y L U L'
F2L 4: U2 R U2 R' U2 R U' R'
OLL: U R' U' R U' R' U2 R
PLL: nope.

29/5.27 = 5.5tps

My first solve where tps > time

Edit: 5th attempt - 3.93
Edit2: First attempt on sim - 3.13
Edit3: 3.05
Edit4: 3.03
Edit5: 2.85 seconds = 10.17tps = 11.92 key presses per second :D

Found this gem!

I was cubing a bit to kill some time without the intention of setting a new PB (but still timing myself because hey, you never know what happens), when I came across this scramble:

F R2 B2 F D2 R2 D2 U2 F2 L2 F U B2 D' R2 U2 L' D' U R'

I finished solving the first two layers when I suddenly found a solved cube in my hands. I was utterly amazed. :eek:

Solve:
x2 U2 L' R U2 F U L' U' x2 y2
U2 R U' R' U y R' U' R
U L U L'
U y' R U R' U R U' R'
U2 y R U' R' U y' R' U' R U'

Gave me a PB of 12.92. Granted, it's a very lucky one, but hey, it's a PB. :p

Cross on white (black in my case)
I tried reconstructing but couldn't remember
The cross is this White Bottom Red Front.
