The edges on this scramble...
A very nice scramble for speedsolving too.

(highlight to see solution)


X-cross : x2 L' D' L R' B'
2nd Pair : L U L'
3rd pair : R' U' R
last pair + edge control : U R U R' U Dw' F R U R' F'
COLL : R' U R U2 L' R' U R U' L (i made this alg)
EPLL : M2 U M2 U M' U2 M2 U2 M' (41)

41/10.47 = 3.91 tps (it could've been sub 10, if i was just a bit better at COLL - Im learning it in lieu of CLL on 2x2, seeing as i barely do 2x2 any more)

Nice COLL alg. I've also found that myself recently. By made, I mean, I was messing around with Lofty's F-Perm and my OH R-perm and randomly got a short nice alg.
For this solve, I got 35 moves with OLL skip.
I'll now try it BLD.
2:35.51
Could have been better. I'm out of practice and very tired.

I "made" that same alg. By made I mean I used Ron's Cubesolver.

Very nice scramble. Someone faster could probably have a double x-cross.

I could have done much better :/

try M2 E2 M2 E2
technically, a "random scramble" can result in a solved cube
so this thread is kind of dumb
i agree with pcharles93:
"You should just race him fairly. You know? Like the rest of us."

Epic fail-

1) That IS NOT A RANDOM SCRAMBLE. Yes it could happen that the cube is solved after a random scramble, but the chances of that happening are so impossibly small that you can safely say that it wont ever happen to anyone here. Has it happened to you? What was the scramble?
2) This thread is not dumb. I think you may be missing the point of it.
3) This thread is old, he doesn't need advice anymore, I think he said somewhere in here that he already raced him, and that was like... what... 7 months ago.

Got 29.75 OH.
It was not D or U cross, I forgot, maybe F. I actually didn't even make a cross. Built some blocks and it became a really cool color neutral solve. I'm not color neutral usually, but for this solve, I had no delays at all being neutral. Green was my D layer here, usually I do White or yellow.

Interesting enough, this is part of my PB average.

This time I scrambled blue on top, white on front. Again, got a nice Green cross.

29.81. I am color neutral now? Feels awkward.

This 2x2 scramble's a bit overwhelming - I couldn't decide what to start with

F' R U R' U' F U2 F2 R F2 U F2 U' R2 F2 R2 U' F' R' U2 R' U2 F' U F'


2.27: R2 U' R F2 R' U R2 F' U2 F R' F2 R F' U F' U R' U R F' U R U2 F

Using Red as D layer. I'm not in a great CN mode today. The Double Excross I think was only 4 moves.

Beat my PB from 31 to 26 sec.

Where to start? xD

Lol. I wish we could count these scrambles as our own. I got 20 seconds. Beat my record by 5 seconds I think.

Easy cross, and if you actually have any spatial awareness, you'll notice that it also forms a corner-edge pair too.

 

[guitardude7241]

yes, i did race and beat him without any special scrambles. so i did do it fair.

this is so easy

look at that 2x2 block! scramble with white top, green front

 

[kuzelnet]

Sweet Scramble

Hey I just got this scramble from cubetimer.com

Awesome looking.

P.S : make your cross colour at the bottom (e.g. if i solve cross with green put green at the bottom side)

here goes

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

ALSO I MADE NEW RECORD 25.92 !! Only 4 of the G perm and 1 N perm for my PLL to learn

OLL ........... Ill just stick with 2 look lol
