10.66. Cross + 2 pairs in inspection

Edit: I misscrambled, but not by much because the cross solutuion is the same and it's still easy.

Has any ever had an easier legal skewb scramble than this, if so I'm sure this is pretty high up there. That's what happens when you do 4k skewb solves in 2 weeks.

It's not FCN btw, it's whatever prisma uses.

At the UKC, I had a 6 move x-cross on yellow on one of my solves from the second round

did the X-cross and F2L-2 setup with COL, then remembered I couldn't sledgehammer with COL, so finished the solve with normal orientation

I got this as a scramble: D2 F' L F2 L' D R2 D B D2 F2 D'
Which is extremely weird because it's so short, 6 move double x-cross on yellow and I got a 7 single not starting with green.

Wow, what timer was that? 12 moves is very short...
E: I got 9.60 with an x2 before scrambling, but I haven't done CFOP for about a week now, so I have an excuse for not even getting within 2 seconds of my PB

cstimer, the one so many people use. WTF? such a weird scramble

You can recognise F2L pairs with the cross not aligned?!

wait I must have scrambled the cube with D as the first move. Oops

Cold hands + about four lockups on the U perm. Saw XX-cross in inspection. Second attempt was 7.73

I am sooo bad at cross planning that I cannot see your "easy" XX-cross spotted in inspection. I assume that's something starting with (x2) R, which pairs up the blue-red while hiding the already paired up green-red but I cannot see an easy way to finish the xx-cross. Could you be so kind as to pointing it out for me?

Anyway, while playing with the scramble I came up with this "beautiful" solution with just a 17-move F2L and a PLL skip. Hope you like it!

(x2) // inspection
R' L U R u' U' F' D2 // Cross (8/35)
L U' L' // F2L#1 (11/35)
(y') R U' R' // F2L#2 (14/35)
(y') L' U L U' L' U' L // F2L#3 (21/35)
(y') U' L' U L // F2L#4 (25/35)
F R U' R' U' R U R' F' // OLL (34/35)
U // PLL skip (35/35)

This is what I planned (after a z2 inspection):
Cross is R D' R' (to place all the cross pieces) then D2 to correct the cross. This doesn't affect either the blue-red or the blue-green pairs.
L U L' would then solve the blue-red pair, and it also doesn't affect the green red pair. This means the green-red pair will still be where it is now, and the pieces are already paired up, which is nice. So you can solve that with L' U L U' F U' F'. There's also a cancellation between the blue-red and green-red pair which I saw too (L' L' -> L2).

I then inserted blue-orange and then green-orange. Easy COLL to recognise with no AUF needed (l' U' L U R U' r' F), and then a U perm.
