Easy / Lucky / Hard / Weird scrambles Thread

[AJT17]

I think I just found a good green cross scramble, I am a white cross though so I don't know much.
Scramble: L D2 B' R2 F R2 D' R B2 D' R2 F2 U D2 F2 D F2 R2 B2 R
Cross looks easy, and there is also a first pair made.
Tell me what times you can get on this solve especially if you can do green cross.
My time is 26.462, and I average about 23 seconds, and I wasn't able to preserve the pair.
I got a 23.261 on the same scramble white cross though.

What did I start?

Oh yeah also just casually got a 2x2 scramble with a pre-made layer.
U' R U R' F2 U2 R' F' R U’
(How does this even happen)

 

[Cuber2s]

12.02, average solve

 

[Cuber2s]

1.67

1.67 lol

How was this lucky? :/

cuz one layer was solved.

If you do double sexy immediately and anti-sune, magic. Tell me what y'all got

edit: (2x2 btw)

2.65

Just do - B R2 F2 R2 U

R' F' R U F R2 F' R' U'(2x2x2)

Just do - B R2 F2 R2 U

I got 1.03 on this scramble with 4 move solution
y' z2 R' F2 R2 U

I got 1.03 on this scramble with 4 move solution
y' z2 R' F2 R2 U

You can also start with Y instead of Y' Z2. Even though it will not reduce the solve time, it will make it a little easier to understand

Well yeah the solution is still the same but yeah easier to understand

4x4 :

Got this wonky scramble:

F U2 F2 U' R2 F U' R U' L2 U2 B2 U' B2 U' F2 D F2 B'

My solution:
z2 // inspection
L' // pseudo-cross
R U' R2 U R // F2L-1
F U' F' // F2L-2
L F L' // finish cross
R U R' U R U' R // F2L-3
L U2 L' U L U' L' // F2L-4
U2 F' L' U' L U F // OLL

Ended up being a 9.23, should have been a low 8 or even a high 7 but I locked up terribly during OLL because I got excited after recognizing the skip. I got a 5.01 on it later after practicing the solution a couple times. Technically, the F2L was extremely sub-optimal: the first R move for the second pair was completely unnecessary, and there was another free pair on the right after the second pair that I probably should have inserted before finishing the cross. But both of those lead to extremely gross LL cases so I'm going to pretend that I did what I did because it was optimal in the long run and not because I didn't see those.

What is your luckiest scramble ever on 3x3?

This is mine: B' U2 R2 B L2 F' R2 B' D2 L2 F L' D L U2 F' R2 B2 D' F'

Spoiler: Solution

y' // inspection
R D // xcross
L U' L' // 2nd pair
R' U R U2' R' U R // 3rd pair
U2 L' U L U' y' R U' R' // 4th pair
U2 r U R' U R U' R' U R U2 r' // OLL
R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' U2 // PLL
