Easy / Lucky / Hard / Weird scrambles Thread

All right, Roux solvers, here's your chance for a PB. As a dirty CFOP user, this was wasted on me:
L2 D L2 U' F2 U B2 U B2 D2 F' D' B R' B2 L2 F' L2 F2

Can't say it is bad for CFOP, x2 y' L' R2 B' R D' R2 seems like a very convenient double xcross.

L2 F2 D2 U2 R' F2 L B2 U2 L R2 F2 D R F2 R D' R2 B' L' U
Wasted this one by rotating wrong, 6.67.

L2 D L2 U' F2 U B2 U B2 D2 F' D' B R' B2 L2 F' L2 F2
Found this solution:
x2 y' L' R2 B' R D' R2
U' L' U L
y' U2 R U' R'
y' U R U' R'
U' F' L' U' L U F U
26 moves
 
I got that but I got a different OLL

x2 y' L' R2 B R D' R2
y' U2 R U R'
y' U2 R U' R' U' (R U R' U')2
F r U R' U' r' F R
U'
33 moves, but the OLL is easier for me idk
Thats different, I paired up the red green pair before inserting the other one. Also thats a lot of moves for that last F2L pair, you should do y' U R' U2 R2 U R2 U R or y' U R U' R' U R U' R' U2 R U' R' (the last one being not as efficient but more finger trick friendly)

I was waiting till next summer to work on advanced 3x3
this summer was trying to work on 4x4, 6x6, and pyraminx (can you tell which one didn't work out all that well?)
But I am going to wait because of marching band and other school things.
 
This one is extremely lucky - 4 free pairs if you solve it right!

Scramble - D2 F2 L2 R2 F' D2 F' R2 F U2 R2 D' L' D' R' U' B L2 R D2 R2

Then solve as such:

Cross - B' L2 U L F L' D2

F2L 1 - F U2 F' y2 U' L' U L
F2L 2 - y U' L' U L
F2L 3 - y U' L' U L
F2L 4 - U2 R U' R'!
 
I got this ridiculous scramble today: B' R B2 R D F2 U' F U L2 D' F2 L2 D' F2 U2 B2 R2 B2

On yellow, it's six moves (HTM) to finish cross + two pairs. This was so easy to see that even I got it and I'm not even sub-20. Of course, I choked the OLL and didn't even get a PB, but it should be possible to get really good times with this one!
 
D2 U2 L2 F' L2 D2 B' R2 B2 F' D L U' F2 U B2 U R' B'

If someone better than me could do a recon, I was doing a slow solve and found an X-Cross solution and a really nice F2L
First thing I saw was
x2 F R U R' D R D2 R // xcross and force 2 free pairs after
y U' R' U' R U2 L' U' L // 2 free pairs
Normal continuation but I can't plan that far lol

It might be better to do this but I could definitely not see this during inspection:
F R U2 R' D R D2 R D' R U' R' DU' y R' U' R U2 L' U' L

(Since you get a ZBLL it is theoretically possible that Tymon could 2 look this solve, i mean i wouldn't be surprised if he could see that F2L solution in inspection)

Thank ya sir
I suck at recon anyway, so the fact that you could figure that out is awesome

Got this lucky scramble that would have been an easy full step sub 6 but I got a corner twist.

B U'D R2 UD2 L U L' // XXcross

easy to inspect for the first 3 pairs.
y' R2 F2 R' D2 R2 L U' L' U L U L' U' L' U L'
U2 R U' R' U R U' R'
bad LL case
7.08

worth mentioning that if you do the first 3 pairs like this you can do an easy ZB
y' R2 F2 R' D2 R2 L U' L' U L U F' L' F
U R U' R2 F R F' //ZBLS
U R' U2 R2 U R2 U R U' R U R' U' R U' R' //ZBLL

Considered both during insection but unfortunately went with the first one.
