OMG OMG OMG HOLY GOOD SCRAMBLE

which time have you gotten ?

R' F2 U D R2 U2 L U' B R' B2 R' U2 B2 D2 F2 R D2 R' D2
Maybe a XXcross on white

I found a really easy xcross on this one:
21.26 F2 U2 B2 D2 U L2 B2 D' B2 L2 R2 U R D2 B U L U2 B2 L'

8 second f2l, (I average 21 global) I was able to force a free pair in inspection which I’m happy about.
Solution:
x2 // INSP.
D U’ L’ U’ F D’ // Cross plus freepair
y’ L’ U’ L // F2L + 1
U2 y L’ U L // F2L + 2
U R U’ R’ // F2L + 3
U2 y R U2 R’ U2 R U’ R’ // F2L + 4
25stm / ~8s = ~3tps

So many free pairs! And you could have even gotten one more free pair if you solved the blue-red pair second instead of blue-orange.

The crazy algorithm pull with this guy who's been here since 2007 droppinglike his once every three week message.

i think you miss-scrambled
I see nothing good aside from the green-orange pair

U2 R' B F2 R L' U' D R' D2 F' B R B' D U F2 B

OMG OMG OMG HOLY GOOD SCRAMBLE

it’s not that insane imo aside from the easy free pair

It has decent potential, but I couldn't find anything that good, so I don't think it's WB potential. This is what I found on it though.

x2 // inspection
D2 R U' R2 D2 // xcross
U' R U R' U' R U R' U' U2 L U L' // 2nd pair
y' U' R' U2 R U' R' U R // 3rd pair
F' U' F R U R' U' R U R' // ZBLS
U2 R U R' U R' U' R2 U' R2 U2 R U' // ZBLL

not even for APB?

Not a good time but this seems like the type of scramble where you make an xxxcross. Failed to make an XXcross tho

I found this solution:
z2 y’
L’ U2 L2 F L’ u U R2 U R’ D’ U’ R’ F R D
which is like the most horrible horrible solution ever

Good scramble (PB4 but still really good) on which I probably executed really badly but whatever

I didn’t realize G perms were so long
also why are your pairs so long as well
the same amount of TPS i get on OH too smh (jk don’t dox me)

 

[Yann1qua12DagOat]

I don't know - I literally just did whatever the first thing was that I saw but usually that's not the best option

I got an OLL skip though so that was nice

Yeah that could be possible i misscramble a lot

What was your solution? I can’t find enything crazy on this scram

 

[Sub20Soon]

What was your solution? I can’t find enything crazy on this scram

I tried it and they were lots of free pairs and the PLL was a Jb perm

 

[Cuberd]

How did u do the cross?

 

[Sub20Soon]

How did u do the cross?

I think i forgot my solution cuz i dont end up with a Jb i end up with a Ra. But i found an Xcross

 

[Michael Wimberly]

x2 y // Inspection
D' U' F R' F2 // Cross
y2 U R U' R' U R U' R' L' U L //First pair
L U' L' //Second pair
U' y L U L' U2 L U' L' // Third pair
U R U' R' U2 y L' U' L // Last pair
U2 F R U' R' U' R U R' F // OLL
Ab perm // PLL

Very good cross, Free pair, other pairs were very fast, I was able to 1-look OLL (Which was a good OLL alg)

 

[MrCubert]

Very nice 2x2 scram
