The easiest scramble ever. No X crosses, but as easy as the lucas scramble xD

7.10 without warmup this one is crazy !

Cross color on bottom. I got 10.96 with a mini-pop and lock-ups, but I am sure there are very fast possibilities.

10.98 avec Petrus. Would've been sub-10, but I right clicked using the touchpad when I went to stop the timer. xD

I can't work out the optimal solution and don't know any programs to do it... Any help please?

Wow, this is an interesting scramble. So interesting it finally got me to go run Cube Explorer for the first time. Like I say, it's the first time I ever tried it, so I may be missing something, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to ignore centers (so as to truly emulate a 2x2x2). But it did seem to indicate the best it could do without ignoring centers was 9 moves, which is pretty shocking.

So then I tried Rubix, which is supposed to do optimal 2x2x2 solves, and it also came up with 9 moves.

So apparently this is very much not an easy scramble, despite what it looks like!

Oh, and on the ridiculous scrambles above I got:

do this one in under 3.12s and you have beat erik...

Too easy F2L but the PLL recog. was really bad.. looked from the wrong side and did U3 before J perm

I don't think the good solution for this was so easy to find so here is how I did it: y' D2 R2 L' F2 U' F2 B U2 L' U' L U2 L2 U2 L U L' U2 L (Z-perm). 19 moves to PLL.
