Easy / Lucky / Hard / Weird scrambles Thread

one of these scrambles where you do something strange, don't really know why you do it, but it turns out to be a good idea:

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

cross: R' F R' u L' R' D' (7)
something wicked:L' U L2 U' L' (5)

1st: B L' B' L (4)
2nd: d' L' U L (4)
3rd: R U2 R' (3)
4th: L U L2 B L B' (6)
OLL: l U' l2 U l2 U l2 U' l (9)
PLL: y2 U' j-perm (11)

I got a 16.38
 
F' D U L2 R D L R' B2 F' R U' L' D U B' F2 D L' D' F' L' R2 B2 F'

B L R' F L2 U' R2 D2
R' U R
U L U' L'
U2 L' U L
L' B2 R B R' B L
R U R' y' R2 u' R U' R' U R' u R2 U

Preserved pairs resulted in an x-cross and the nicest F2L ever :)

if you do the last f2l like this: d R2 B' R' B R' (useful thing for a coll user ;)), then you get an oll skip, and a nicer G perm
 
I was just looking through the thread and...

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

0.00 LOL

Thanks to cube exploder (uh, I mean explorer) on this one.

LOLOLOL

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

Insanity! Do you know when f2l was finished. (roughly)

Just got this 2x2 scramble from cubetimer ...lol

Wow :O That second double x-cross was awesome!
 
B2 F' D2 U L2 F D' B' U2 L2 R B2 R U B2 F' D B F D' L2 R B' L2 R'

Anyone who doesn't find X-cross on this one deserves a slap.


(fast cubers can probably easily sub-10 this one. sub-9?)

Pll skip too. I didn't time it though.

I had alot of trouble finding it. I do cross on white. That's why. I didn't notice the the 2x2x1 block for yellow.:fp

you're right: it's actually an accidental DOUBLE-x-cross :)

i didn't see either of the two pairs during preinspection.
(after scrambling and the 'y'), i only planned the cross and to trace the FLD-corner and the FR-corner/edge-pieces.
while i was building the FR-pair, i found and traced th BR-corner/edge-pair.
i only noticed the allready done two pairs just before finishing th BR-slot :D

btw, what did you get?
(i got an 11.53)

oh, and another thing:
do you have the scrambles for first round of 3x3 in Essen?


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

easy x-cross, which turned out to be an double-x-cross :)
F2L in 16 moves HTM.

y' R D L' F D L2 (6)
R U2 R' d R' U' R (7)
y R' U' R (3)
