Easy / Lucky / Hard / Weird scrambles Thread

[Swordgamer969]

I GOT A 1.489 USING THIS AND I AVERAGE ABOUT 4-5 SECONDS ITS LIKE 5 MOVES

U2 F' U2 F U R' U' R2 U'

ITS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

is this what cstimer casually does because during NAC, I saw someone got a scramble that could be done in one singular algorithm using cstimer

(mod edit: merged from a thread originally titled "absolutely INSANE 2x2 scramble!!!")

This solve was actually so unfortunate, I had a huge pause on the ZBLL, and it's still almost PB. I tried it again right after and got it in 3.6 seconds, so this should've been like mid to low 4.

I probably would have been too busy trying to force a green-orange free pair to find a ZBLL lol

53/13.63=3.888 tps (I don’t know if it was exactly a 13.63 because I missed the timer stop, but when I pressed the timer it was around 13.6). Also downsolved to an 11.89 second try.

I know what you mean bro.
I got a scramble so easy it was hard.
Here it is and the time I got with it. (Whenever something of this sort happens I take a picture of it and the time I got)

There was a skewb scramble from last week's comp that literally had half the cube solved - L R L R' U R U' B' L U L
I also managed to get a 10.87 PB single on 3x3 with this scramble - L U B2 L2 B L2 F' L F U2 L2 U' R2 L2 F2 D F2 R2 L2 B2 - I'm not even dual colour neutral but I locked in.
