Can anyone find a solution to this scramble that results in a nice LL case while also making use of the incredibly easy start?
L2 B2 U2 R2 U2 L2 B2 D' B2 R2 F2 D' F D L F' D2 U' B2 U2
D R D' R L' U' L' seems like a good start (which I did and got 6.52), but you can also do D R D' R L2 and have two free pairs, or something like D R D' R L' F U' F' L' and have the xxcross and a free pair. If you do that pair with U2 R' U2 R you even get another free pair. I can't find anything that leads to a good LL case though, best I can do is inserting that last free pair with a U2 insert and getting an average OLL and a U perm. Can anyone find something really good?

3-look 3x3 solve:

y x D Lw D R' F R D2 y' R U' R' D'U L' U' L2 U L'

R' E R U R' E' R

U R' U' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' U R

my first 3 look 3x3 solve that didn't have 1 look F2L. Time was 6.57

It seems like every day you do less 3BLD and more 3x3

Yeah I haven't been doing much 3BLD. Probably demotivated by my consistently bad comp results. Did some solves yesterday though, and got a sub 20 within my first 3 attempts. Will probably start practicing when I finally have another comp coming up.

Spoiler

F R D F // eo
R' F2 D' R D R' D' R2 L2 // eo-xxx-cross
U L' U R U' L U R' // 3e
U R' E2 R U2 R' E2 R // solved

okay that's probably not realistic but for an eo+blockbuilding start it's pretty fingertrickable lol

I was just toying around doing random things on a 2x2 and found this scramble:

U' F2 R U'


It is a no-bar scramble, yet it is a four mover.

I modified a sq-1 scramble to get this crazy scramble /(6, 0)/(6, 0)/(3, 5)/(1, 4)/(5, -4)/(-3, 0)/(1, -5)/(5, -3)/(6, 0)/(3, -3)/(-2, -1)/(-4, -2)/(2, 6) the solution i did was 9 slices.

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

I was scrambling and just got a miss scrambled XXcross skip

EDIT: Apparently I'm really stupid and that isn't the scramble

 

[Jennah]

This was a really easy scramble. I probably could've gotten a PB but as I was solving I was saying in my head, "OMG THIS IS GONNA BE A PB!!!" so I got excited and choked up the solve.

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

B L2 F' L2 U2 B U2 F2 R2 D2 F' U' B' R2 B2 U' L' R' B2 F'
This scramble seriously had sub 4 potential but my look ahead was almost non-existent throughout this solve and I pauzed for each F2L pair except for the last one.
y' // inspection
D L R F R' // cross
U2 R U' R' L' U L
U2 R U R'
R' U' R y U R U' R'
U R' U' R
U R U R' U R U2 R'
Only got 5.36, shame it wasn't even sub 5.

 

[gsingh]

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

z y // inspection
r' D' F2 R2 U' R' M' U' M // xxxcross
f' L' f // fourth f2l pair
U2 r' U' r R' U' R U r' U r // oll
R' U R U D R2 U R U R U' R U' R2' D // pll

Have you ever gotten a REALLY lucky scramble, where you start with a semi-solved cube?

I got this scramble for the 2x2x2 form JNetCube timer:
L B2 D L D2 L' D F' U' R F2 D B2 U' F' L D F' U2 R2 B R' B2 U' F2




Anybody have any?

I got 3.28

 

[Gecko777]

first: 20.17
second: 21.09 (opposite color solve)
no skips (except for the one f2l at the second scramble

here are two from me (just made avg of 100):
U' R2 F' L2 F U B U2 B R F' R2 B' U L2 B' R2 B' L' D2 F2 L' R' D F'
D' U' B U R2 L F U2 B2 L' B2 R' B F2 R2 L B F2 L2 B' R D B D L

mmm i got a 15.98. pretty average. I couldn't find anything good.

 

[Celeritardum]

Found this scramble from a year ago with pairs everywhere: D2 R' B D2 B' L2 B D2 U2 R2 F R2 L' F2 L D L2 U L
Also really good CFOP scramble too: L2 U2 B2 F2 U' L2 B2 R2 U' R2 U B F L' F R D R' B' L'

 

[Celeritardum]

Insane F2L if you do it right with the psuedo pair: D' R2 F' R2 D2 B2 R2 D2 U2 F2 U2 B' U' B2 L U' B' F2 L' F

What cubing timer are u using? 15 move scrambles don’t seem possible
