[JTW2007]

A few from cubemania:

Cross on F for both.

B2 L2 D F' U' L2 B U' R2 F L2 F L2 F' L2 U R' U' L' D2 R' B2 U2 B R2 (14.38)

F' D B L2 U2 L' D2 F R2 D F2 D R U2 F U' R2 D L2 F U2 R' F2 L B' (13.04)

 

[Gollum999]

I was using CubeTimer, (I don't remember the scramble... it erased it after I stopped the timer. ) and I ended up skipping the cross and 2 steps of 4LLL.
I think my time was 35 sec, which is about 15 sec less than my average.

keyhole time again on CCT

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

y2 R F R D2 L' U' R' F2 R (9)
L' U' L (3)
U' D' L U L' D2 (6)
U R U R2 F R F' (7)
then finish with OLL/PLL

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

Cross on R. One move cross and one connected pair.

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Um... R2 B R L B U F2 R2 U' L F' D B2 L' D B L2 U' B F L' F L F' R'

 

[Escher]

Um... R2 B R L B U F2 R2 U' L F' D B2 L' D B L2 U' B F L' F L F' R'

My solution:

X-cross: z2 y (oops, not y') U' L B' F2
FL pair: D' L' U L D
BR pair + build FR pair: R U2 R' U' R U' R2 U' R
ZBF2L: U2 F R' F' R2 U' R'
ZBLL: (U) R U2 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 R (U)

= 36 moves

10.89 seconds, because I completely suck with this cube.

F2L#1: U' L U' L' U2 L U' L'
F2L#2: R' U R U' R U R'
F2L#3: y' R U' R'

Cross on D

10.08 full step first solve.

third solve was 7.61 full step

Solution:

Cross: U2 R2
F2L#1: U' L U' L' U2 L U' L'
F2L#2: R' U R U' R U R'
F2L#3: y' R U' R'
F2L#4: L U L'
OLL: F R' F' R U R U R' U' R U' R'
PLL: A perm.

Solution:

Cross on B cos I saw the first 2 pairs from there.

xy D R' D' R

U' y' R' U R U' R' U' R U' L U2 L' U L U' L' - one motion.

U R' U2 R2 U R2' U R

L' U L U2 L' U L

R U R' U' r R' U R U' r'

U2 x' R2 U2 R D R' U2 R D' R

8.83, 55 moves = 6.23 tps.

Sub 15 2 Look PLL :O:O:O:O
OLL skip and easy as hell cases.
Cross on D
Not sure about solution, but it was really easy last 3 F2L and OLL skipped.

 

[JustinJ]

From qqtimer (at school):
Cross on top.
F' D U B D2 L D2 U' L' F' B2 R L' D2 U2 F' B U2 D R B2 U' B2 R L2

I'll edit with triple xcross. Have to go to a different class now.

EDIT:

Triple Xcross: x2 y' R' F R2 D' R' y2 R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 U' L' U L D2
Last Pair: y U' R U' R' U R U R'
OLL: U2 R' F R U R' U' F' U R
PLL: y R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U F' L' U L

Could probably be done better.

 

[Raffael]

..
PLL: y R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U F' L' U L

That is a nice t-perrm trick.
Do you have any more AUF-PLL's ?

btw, here's my speedsolve of your scramble:
scramble:
F' D U B D2 L D2 U' L' F' B2 R L' D2 U2 F' B U2 D R B2 U' B2 R L2

solution:
triple-x-cross: x2 y' R' F R2 D L2 D2 R' D2 (8)
4th: y' U' R U2 R2 F R F' (7)
OLL: F R U R' U' F' (6)
PLL: U2 + r-perm (1+14)

36 HTM, 11.58

actually I only planned the double-x-cross with FR-slot and BL-slot during inspection, so I was a bit lucky with the BR-slot


Yesterday, I got this scramble:
(cross on D)

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

during inspection, my thoughts were something like this:
'hmm..two connected pairs after three piecees of the cross...they're in a nice position... I'm going to insert them first, then complete the cross... this should be fast.. probably I'll end with 2-look-Oll and an n-perm... as usual...'

check the spoiler below to see how edge-control rewarded me with a LL-skip

cross-1: R' B' F R' D (5)
1st: y L' U L (3)
2nd: R U2 R' (3)
complete cross: y' U R' F R (4)
3rd: y' U F2 L F2 L' (5)
4th: d R' U' R y R' F R F' (8)
U' (1)

29 HTM

I got a 8.58, which made me jump around for a few minutes, bump my head, leaving me happy with a headache

Nah, that's the only one I know, someone posted it somewhere, I forget who

triple-x-cross: x2 y' R' F R2 D L2 D2 R' D2 (8)

Find something to do with this guys!!! It looks good for blockbuilding methods.

9.13 PLL skip

Best time after a few tries: 7.03

Cross color on U:
D L' U L' D2 U B L2 R2 B F D' R' B2 L2 U B2 F' U2 R' B' F2 L2 U L'

Easy double X-cross. 13.24 on the solve. Could have been faster, but I was so psyched about the double X-cross.

Chris

that scramble seems to short

omfg. that's better than the "lucas scramble"

edit: this was meant to be one of those viewing boxes for youtube. btw, 27.84 first shot. new pb. beat my old by 3 seconds. other solve didnt have a easy scramble at all though. no x-cross of already formed f2l pairs of skips
