Wow, probably the easiest solution I've ever found.

how do you find these things?!

 

[Bindedsa]

how do you find these things?!

When I inserted the pair normally I saw I would get a Wide Antisune for LL. I know that if you take the pair out and use that insert it is the same as a Wide Antisune from that angle, so I just basically cancelled into it.

Got a 2x2 scramble that had 4 corners solved, none of which were adjacent each other. At first, I thought it was really bad, but after looking at it for a bit longer, I found a good solution. I deleted the scramble before solving the cube, but I wrote down the solution and just put the inverse of the solution. Here's the whole thing.

There's a 5 move solution, but cubeexplorer doesn't like 2x2. I cant seem to make it work.

How do you know? Did you find it by hand, if cubeexplorer wouldn't do it for you?

I generated it on cubeexplorer but somehow it didn't work when I tried it on the cube. I must have done something wrong.

The optimal solution is:
x' y' F R2 U' F2 R'

I found it with my own optimal 2x2 solver, written in Matlab.

U perm and one move, completely failed so I had a +2

Spoiler: More super easy skewb scrambles

U' R B' R U R' B' L R
yellow layer

U B R' B L U' B L'
white layer

B R' L B L U' L R U'
do orange layer, not the 2 move layer

R' L' U B U L' R L R U' B'
yellow layer, this one is from TTW so not random state

B L' B U' B L' U L' U B' U'
also from TTW, 7 move solution

Saw first two pairs, could have seen three, but I don't like that flipping edge case.

Probably should have been way faster, at least I didn't miss the 1LLL.

If I had done the last pair like:
U' R U R' U2 y' R' U' R // F2L-4
F U R U' R' U R U' R' U R U' R' F' U // ZBLL
It would have been faster.

I went through this twice. This is amazing. I especially like "F perm?!".

 

[ryanj92]

Just got these two scrambles in a row whilst doing untimed solves...

R U R U L U' L R' b u
11 moves inc. tips, obvious 1-flip solution (0 moves for 1-flip block, AUF into 7 move top + centres, 1 move AUF and LL skip, 2 tips)

R' L B U' R' L R' L' l r b u
10 moves (1 move 1-flip top, into 5 move top and centres, LL skip, 4 tips)

Edit:
Another one, this time the second pair was completely luck:

9.866 L2 B2 U' L2 B2 L2 U' L2 D R2 F2 R U F D B' U2 R2 D' U2 F2
z2
F D' R2 F' L' U L D2

On the first I only caught the second pair while inserting the edge for the first pair, second was fully inspected.

Edit2:
Not a XXcross but a ridiculously easy solve:
