Easy / Lucky / Hard / Weird scrambles Thread

For Roux users. Have your FB where it would be during LSE, and then do a z'

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

4 move FB, more if you start setting up your SB.

I won't even bother typing my solution since I average ~40 seconds with Roux.
 
x' y
u2 r' F'
U2 R' U' r' U R2 U2 R U M' U r
U R' F' U' F U' R U R' U R
U' M' U' M' U2 M' U' M2 U
 
B' L B2 D R2 D F R2 F B R D L D L' R' U B' U2 F L2 D2 U2 R2 D'

I got 15.92 with it by X-crossing, but I'm sure more seasoned X-crossers could do it more justice.
 
Pseudo 2x2x2: (done)
2x2x3: D2 F2 L' D L2 U (6/6)
F2L minus a slot: D L' F' D F (5/11)
L5E: L2 D L B D2 B' (6/17)
L5C: L2 F2 L F2 D R U F2 U' R' D2 L (12/29)

'Twas fun.

last scramble: L D L2 F2 U F' B2 U B' R2 D L' U2 R2 B' R2 U2 L F D2 L2 B' U B2 F

time was 10.61, but it was actually 7 or low 8, cos the focus wasn't on the timer D:

z2 y U2 L' U' D2 R' F R2 (7 x-cross)
R' U2 R U R' U' R (7)
d R U' R2 U R U' F R' F' R (10)
U2 F R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F2 (12)
U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' (14)

U R U2 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 R

PLL (AUF):
U


i was like xP
 
R' D' B' R F2 D2 B2 F2 U2 F' L' U' D2 F U F' D' F L2 B2 F2 L U' D2 R2

It's an average scramble, but a very odd solve :p

I had 'solved' the cross, put all 4 f2l pairs in place, and when I got to OLL, all corners were oriented, and the 3 edges closest to me were flipped (???)

But then I looked at the cross again. Ofcourse, a piece was flipped :fp

But never fear, roux-man is here! I did M' U M U' M' U2 M, and was planning to do OLL, but yay, it was solved! I was only hoping to save the cross :p So I did PLL and salvaged a 19.12s time on it.
