This is an AMAZING scramble! Got a sub-10 first try, sub-8 next. Cross colour on top:

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

My solve:

(f2 u) L2 U L F L' U L U F R' F' (u) R U2 R' U R U R' (F2L and OLL skip: 18 moves)

U (u) R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' (PLL 15 moves Total: 33 moves)

That's an 11 move triple-x-cross!!

wowowow!!

I tried it before looking at your solve and I got 10.60, then 8.89 the second try, but no OLL skip. Then I looked at your solution and I got 6.76! That was insane!!
 
I did bad on this average, but I think someone really good at 2x2 (Escher) can get some crazy times with these scrambles.

1. F U' R' F' U2 F2 U' R2 U' F' U' R' U R' F U' F2 R2 F R U2 R2 U' R2 F2
2. F R U2 F2 U2 F2 R' F' R U2 F R2 U F' U' R' F' R' F2 U' R' F2 U' F' R
3. U' F' R2 F U2 F' U2 F R2 U' R2 U2 F2 U' R' F2 R' U R' U R2 F2 R2 U R'
4. F2 R U2 F' U2 R2 U' R' U F2 R' U' R F2 R U2 F' R U' R F U' R2 F2 R
5. R' F' U F R U F2 U F U2 F' U2 F2 R U' F2 R U R F' U2 F U F' U

I keep getting streaks of easy 2x2 scrambles...

Please, continue to :)

Average: 3.02
Standard Deviation: 0.58

(4.63), 2.22, 3.59, 3.24, (2.12)

3rd solve could've been about .8 of a sec faster if i hadn't locked up :S
Wish I'd known the EG case for the 4th solve, it would've been unreal...
 
This is a pretty nice scramble for square-1:

(0,2) / (3,-2) / (6,0) / (-3,3) / (1,3) / (-1,5) / (1,0) / (0,5) / (6,1) / (0,5) / (0,5) / (1,1) / (0,1) / (6,5) / (5,0) / (6,0) / (0,4)

I got 17.17, but it would have been much faster if my hands weren't frozen and if it wasn't my first square-1 solve of the day :P

2x2:

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

2.48 R U2 R' U R2 F2 U' R F2 R2 U' R' F2 R' U F2 R' U F' U2 R F' U' R' U - I failed it.

LOL I was doing an average of 12 for first layer, but saw the whole solution on this one:

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

3x3:

1. 8.55 F2 D F D' U L F2 L' R F2 D2 L' R D U' B D B' F R2 B' F R B2 F - I was so excited at the begining - so many possibilities for color neutral.

Hint : z R' F L2 U L' - 2x cross on R

Two scrambles from Escher here! I'm posting them on his behalf; apparently the forums are too much of a distraction during such a busy examination period... makes me wonder why I'm here.

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

The second one is even better, apparently he got 0.21 on it!

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

I got 10.68.

Also, for David: (0,-4) / (0,1) / (0,3) / (6,3) / (-3,0) / (0,3) / (3,0) / (-5,0) / (-3,5) / (0,3) / (6,0) / (0,2) / (0,1) / (0,3) / (1,2) / (-3,4) / (0,4) / (0,2) /

15.77 :)

Scramble from CCT:

2x2:

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

Easy scramble for ortega users. :D

(I only got 7.23s because of rubik brand 2x2 and i just completed ortega (yay for me hehe))

anyway; hints; use top color after scramble and 2 steps finish skipping pll
