solution
cross - z2 y' R' F U R2 D2 R2
f2l 2 - L U2 L' y' R' U R
f2l 3 - y' U' R U R' U2 L' U L
f2l 4 - U' R U2 R' U' R U R' (28)
LL - 'crazy arms' and A perm (19)

= 47 moves, 10.33 seconds = 4.54 tps on the worst cube I own... I'm so annoyed. Guaranteed sub 10 on any of my other cubes, probably sub 9 on the good AII...

Lol.

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

I have no idea what to do with that. I just made it into a 2x-cross with a lot of slice turns. I think Roux-users will get nice times on that scramble

3x3, scramble with cross-colour on D:
D' R D' R2 B' L2 D' R D2 L' D' B D2 R' B U2 L2 F' L2 U' R' D' L2 B' U

easy x-cross spoiler below

x-cross: y2 F D R' F' D L D' (7)
2nd: U' R' U2 R U R' U' R (8)
3rd: y' R U2 R' (3)
4th: y' R U R' U' R U2 R' (7)
OLL: y2 R U R' U' R' F R F' (8)
PLL: d x R2 D2 R U R'D2 R U' R (10)

43 moves HTM

I got a 15.43.
I'm slow.

WTH!??

Easiest scramble EVER. Seriously, try it. It's freaky. And I got a horrible LL, bad OLL and a N perm. I'm embarrassed to say I locked up and got a 16.

Edit: forgot, cross colour on top.

I guess it's kind of obvious, but here's the (not horrible LL) solution.

xcross: x2 F'
Pair 2: R U R'
Pair 3: y U R U2 R' U' R U R'
Pair 4: y U R U R'
OLL: U2 r U' r' U' r U r' y' R' U R
PLL: U2 R' U' R y R2 u R' U R U' R u' R2
AUF: U'

I got the same LL as you, I think (definitely an N perm at the end), and a lockup too, and even I got a 19.64. This might be sub-5 for the experts. Probably an amazing scramble for fewest moves, too.

 

[ManasijV]

I got a 11.68. u can easily see the next 2 pairs in the inspection and the last one is too easy easy OLL and E Perm. My first sub 12 i think But wont count this.

Solution for F2L:
X2 F'
R U R'
L U2 L' y R U R'
U' R U R' U2 R U R'

Its easy from there

Edit: Couldn't resist trying it again Got a 9.61.

 

[Faz]

7.31. So close.

 

[soccerking813]

My last layer was 2-look OLL with sune, and a J perm.

 

[Escher]

8.69, daaamn. knight move and G perm.

 

[peterbat]

12.xx
(accidentally hit the wrong button on my wrist-watch)

I got knight move and G perm too! My first sub-16...

 

[MTGjumper]

8.59, knight move and g perm

 

[Jai]

Hm, I found a solution with a nice OLL and an A perm (my original speedsolve had a knight move/G perm though).

Spoiler

x-cross: x2 y L'
Second pair (+ Pair third one): U' R U R' U2 y R U R'
Fourth pair: y' U' R U2 R' U' R U R'
Insert Third pair: F' U' F

OLL: U F R' F' R U R U' R' U
PLL: x R2 D2 R U R' D2 R U' R

Edit: First try with that solution - 8.04.

 

[mazei]

9.36, forgot my solution. Locked on the 3rd f2l pair.

 

[SimonWestlund]

Damn.. 7.71

Tried again and got 7.00 and then 6.74

 

[Mike Hughey]

7.31. So close.

Aww, I really figured you would do it. Nice try, though.

 

[Gparker]

Yallows scramble: F' D' B2 F' L' D L B' R2 D2 R F' U2 L' D2 F2 L2 R B2 F L F' D' B' F2

My solution ended with U perm

Excross: x2 F'
Pair 2: R U R'
Pair 3: U' L U' L' U' y R U2 R' U R U' R'
Pair 4:U R' U R U2 R' U R
OLL: U R U R' U' L R' F R F' L'
PLL: U R2 U R U R' U' R U' R' U R'

Yay!`


I got 6.89, i should have recorded it

Not really super easy, but a fun xcross.

I did it like x2 y' R2 (U D') F D2 y R'

Gparker, did you really do 6.8 tps on your first try?

Gparker, did you really do 6.8 tps on your first try?

I have no idea how to calculate tps. But then yes? I used my very loose type a and i could see the excross and 2 more pairs after. It's really easy. I could maybe sub 6 with a couple of more tries. Maybe, not likely.
