Useless comment

made it into your signature I see
so wasn't useless

Scramble: U2 B' R2 F2 R2 D' B2 F2 U B2 R2 D2 L2 R D' F' R' B R F'

Super weird scramble.

I could find good CFOP starts, good Roux starts and also a decent scramble for 3-style sighted execution.

Try Waterman with this scramble

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

Uselessness is in the eye of the beholder.

Luckiest 3x3 scramble I have ever gotten. 3 move Xcross on yellow and if you do what I did where I accidentally did a U after cross and rotate, do RG pair, then OG pair, and BR pair last you get OLL skip.

Nice! Was that on the Rubik's app?

Thanks. It was on FiveTimer

This 5x5 scramble has 2 edges already solved. I didn't try to preserve them, but I just thought that that was very rare and weird.

I got an 8 on this scramble. Two slice moves to an Xcross, two three move inserts form, and PLL is a U perm.

@Athefre would love to continue this one:

B L2 U' R' B D' F2 D F L' B2 L2 F2 B2 U R2 D B2 L2 U' L2

x2 R U' B2 D2 B //FB

 

[Pyjam]

R F2 D' F R' D B2 L' D R2 F2 U R2 D' F2 B2 D

XXX-Cross in 8 moves.

Also optimized Roux solution in 26 moves.

B L2 U' R' B D' F2 D F L' B2 L2 F2 B2 U R2 D B2 L2 U' L2

x2 R U' B2 D2 B //FB

I chose to go with an MI3 solve.

FB: x2 R U' B2 D2 B
2x2x2: U' r' U' R U M' U2 F R F'
CLL+1: r2 D' r U r' D r2 U' r' U' r
L3E: U M2 U' M' U2 M U' M2
Undo transformation: U r U' r'

A mostly realistic solve once recognition for transformation stuff is good.

Really nice scramble, but the last layer that I got sucked.

Have you ever gotten a REALLY lucky scramble, where you start with a semi-solved cube?

I got this scramble for the 2x2x2 form JNetCube timer:
L B2 D L D2 L' D F' U' R F2 D B2 U' F' L D F' U2 R2 B R' B2 U' F2




Anybody have any?

My luckiest 2x2 Scramble (4.08) is this:
R' U' R2 F R2 F' R' U R U' R' (Orange Base)

Solve:
Bottom Face: (R U R' U') x2
OLL: F' (R U R' U') R' F R
Anyone tried?

Pretty bad cross for white
L' D R' F' R' B U2 L F U2 F2 D R2 U2 D' F2 U' F2 R2 D

 

[BenChristman1]

Pretty bad cross for white
L' D R' F' R' B U2 L F U2 F2 D R2 U2 D' F2 U' F2 R2 D

...and this is why everybody should be at least dual CN.

interesting looking cross patterns all over the cube
D' L2 U2 L' F L' U' B U B2 L2 F2 R2 F' D2 F B2 R2 F

 

[Pyjam]

Pretty bad cross for white
L' D R' F' R' B U2 L F U2 F2 D R2 U2 D' F2 U' F2 R2 D

Not so bad after all:
L' R' F' U' B' L R S2 D // 9 - EO Cross
R U L' U2 R' // 5/14 - F2L #1
L U2 D L' U2 L2 U' L' D' // 9/23 - F2L #2+#3 + 4th pair
U L' U' L' D L' U' L D' L U2 L U // 13/36 - Not so good for speed…

More realistic:
z2 R L' F' D' B' R D2 L D // 9 - EO 2x2x2
L2 U2 D L D' // Cross (almost)
U L' U2 L2 // 9/18 - F2L #2
R' U R U L // 5/23 - F2L #3
R' U2 R U2 R' U2 R // 7/30 - F2L #4
y r U2' R2' F R F' R U2' r' // 9/39 - COLL
