3x3, cross on D
B2 D2 B U2 L2 U2 R D2 R' B' R' U R2 F2 L' F' R U L2 U' F' L2 U B U

3 move x-cross

EDIT: If you add an extra U during the cross, you get an extra allready connected pair.

btw:
at the moment, my mum is learning how to solve the cube.
she got a PLL skip on her first try and a LL skip on her second try

Mm... Yes please.
F2 U2 F2 U R' U2 F' R2 U' F2 U2 R F U F'

Solution: z' U' R' U R U2

I don't even do Roux, but this would be a solid scramble for it.

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

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

First Block: x' = 0 STM

Second Block: (R2 U) (R U M' U' R) U2 (R2 U M' U') (R U M U' R') = 17 STM, 23 QTM

CMLL: (U2) F (R U R' U') (R U R' U') F' = 11 STM, 12 QTM

Edges: (M' U M U M' U M) (U M' U2 M U' M2 U) (M U2 M2 U2 M') = 19 STM, 36 QTM

Total: (0 + 17 + 11 + 17 = 47) STM, (0 + 23 + 12 + 36 = 71) QTM

Time: 15.10 seconds

Turns Per Second: 3.1 STM, 4.7 QTM

Comment: Decent

Wow, even easier 2x2x2 scramble:



U2 L U2 L F U' R B' D' R2 U' F'

Again 2 move solution!
I got 0.62 on this

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

This xcross was so fun,

Solution: x2 U (R' L) F' L2 F' U' B2

Then an easy pair

3x3, cross on D:
D2 L2 U' B' U2 L U B' D2 L B2 D R' B2 L' U' L' U' R B L' B D' B2 L2

triple-x-cross+multislotting-spoiler below:
triple-x-cross: L2 R2 U' R2 F R2 F' y' L F2 U F U2 L' (13)
4th: y U R' U' R (3)
OLL: double-sune (11)
PLL: U2 + u-perm (12)

I got a 13.19

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

For 2x2, it's pretty dang amazing.

2x2 scramble
U F2 R' F2

It looks like it's going to be really easy, but it's NOT. Try it.

2x2 scramble
U F2 R' F2

It looks like it's going to be really easy, but it's NOT. Try it.

That was cool. I got a 3.20. (Which for me is like my second fastest 2x2x2 solve ever.) And I was really honest about it - I applied the scramble and then tossed it in the air (carefully, so it wouldn't turn and mess up the scramble) so I didn't know which way it was oriented when I started. But in all honesty, it looked impossible at first and I thought I was going to get a bad time on it. I used Guimond, and had to do a turn at the beginning for the first step, which is always very scary for me. But then I saw that canceled the first move in the second step, and then I had to recognize the rest on the fly. The way I saw it:

Spoiler

x' y2 L
R' F2 R
F2 U'

But the L R' cancel, which I saw.

I guess it's just cool for me because Guimond resulted in an optimal solve for this scramble (after the easy-to-see cancellation).

Using the WCA Sq 1 scrambler, I got this scramble:
(-5,5) (0,6) (0,3) (0,3) (0,1) (0,3) (-4,2) (4,4) (-4,2) (1,4) (0,2) (3,0) (-3,0) (0,3) (-3,0) (-3,3) (3,0)

Got 11.78 on it, and I average around 30 seconds.

Here's a weird scramble.

L' B' F' R2 F D R' B L B2 R2 F' D' U B' D U2 B2 D' B' F' L' R U R
Cross on top.
I'm curious to see how everyone else does it, here's my double xcross.
Solution: z2 F2 L D' R' D L2 y R U R' F2 M2 U2 M2
But I'm sure it can be done better.

On my second try I found an awesome finish.

Finish: (L' U L U') *3 U' y' R' U R y Y perm
