Easy / Lucky / Hard / Weird scrambles Thread

[JTW2007]

Cross color on front and then this: U F2 B2 U R' F2 B U F R' B R2 U L2 F2 D F2 U R2 F2

Not only are three cross edges already solved (relatively), but you can preserve an F2L pair for easy insertion in one move.

10.86 3x3 single. Should have been sub-10, but I was so stunned by the scramble from CCT:
D' U B' F2 D B' D L' B R D' L R2 D2 U' L2 R B' F2 L2 R' U L' B R'

I like the white cross better, but I'm sure the yellow cross would have been nice also. Double x-cross FTW!
I'd like to know what Faz gets on this...

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

y' R2 U L2 d' L2 D
y' L' U L
U R' U R
U' y' L' U L
d' R U R' d R' U' R
U l' U' L' U R U' L U B2

When I actually did this solve, I preserved the first pair but kept being surprised when new pairs were being formed. I also didn't force the PLL skip, but had an A perm, so got an 8.xx.

I just thought it was funny how many (0,3)'s there where in the begining.

I just thought it was funny how many (0,3)'s there where in the begining.

At French Open 2009 there was a scramble with seven (0,3)s in a row (but not at the beginning).

I never thought to do this OLL, when it comes up at that angle, using deep turns like that! That's so easy! :fp

Rowe I would love to see what you could do with this scramble. It's my new PB scramble, and it's purdy
