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

This scramble is just too lol. I got a 19.58 OH on this because terrible OLL and F perm.
I tried this OH and got 18.13... could've been a high 17.9x, but I failed the timer stop first time. It could've been faster (maybe) using my OH main, but my ShuangRen was closer so I just used that :p

U' L2 D2 L' // X-Cross (4/6)
z' U L U' z // F2L-2 (3/3)
z' U' L' U D L D' // F2L-3 (6/6)
z U2 z' U' L U L' U' L U z // F2L-4 (8/9)
U2 x U' L U L' x' U' L' U L // OLLCP (9/10)
U2 L2 U2 L' U2 L2 U2 L2 U2 L' U2 L2 // EPLL (12/16)

Total 42/50
2.76 TPS.
 
... I have no idea how you saw that XX in 15 seconds. Nice.

For the fourth pair, why didn't you do F' U' F U' R U R'? It's a lot shorter, and it solves the ZBLS for that case.

How are you doing on ZBLLs? Last I heard, you had a few Us, some more Pi's, and a bunch of Sunes. Are you done with U and Pi yet?

I finished the Us and just recently got started on my last two Pi sets. I tried learning to many in a short period of time, which frustrated me into stopping. I'm going to do about 1 or 2 a day and hope I can stay consistent.
 
Scramble:
B R2 U' R U R' U2 B' R B' U2 F2 L2 D2 L2 D2 F U2 B' U2

Solve:
y' R' D2 L U L2 U' R2 // xxxcross
y' R U' R' U' R U2 R' U // messing up with last pair
R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R' // last pair
U F U R U' R' F' // OLL
U' // PLL skip?
L B2 R2 D' F' D' F2 D2 R2 B' L2 B' L U' for the last pair gives an LL skip... :P

Got a 31 move 3x3 speedsolve this morning with 12 move F2L:

Scramble had a lot of blocks and I like blockbuilding so...

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

y
x'
L' U' R2 L' x' D' = 2x2x2 in 5
x' R' U' F2 = 2x2x3 in 8
U = XXX-cross in 9
z' y2 R U R' = F2L in 12 (Yes, I know I'm a noob)
y f' L' U' L U f = OLL in 18
U2 y R2 u R' U R' U' R u' R2 F' U F = PLL in 31

It's worth noting that if you cancel the last move of the XXX-cross into the last pair, it could be an 11 move F2L

I ended up getting 8.60 on it, which is my second or third fastest solve ever.
 
D2 B R2 B R2 U2 F D2 B L2 B2 D' R' F D' B R2 B' U F D'

That's just ridiculous.

z2 y
L' D' F' R' F (x-cross minus piece)
d' M' U2 M (last cross edge, pair)
d' R' U R
R U' R' U2 Y' r' u' r

F2L in 21?!

Awesome! I'm excited for you to finish Pi. I was also wondering how much ZBLS you knew? Judging by your solves in the example thread, I assumed you knew full VHLS but not full ZBLS.

Very little ZBLS, like 5. I don't intend to learn it any time soon, maybe long term. After ZBLL, I'll be learning OLLCP and Tripod LL, as well as finding better ZBLL algorithms.

three of the easiest clock scrambles i've ever gotten, right in a row
