This is a double X-cross (Cross on top) that I got off of qqTimer. Post your own solution (if you want) so that I can see how I could have made my solution better.

49 move solution if I'm right

Not how I speed solved it, but I like it. So many pairs and blocks!

EDIT: I tried to reconstruct my speed solve, but I cannot find the exact thing I did. It's something close to this, but with more moves!

Second pair you should have used L turns.

OLL: R U2 R2' F R F' U2' R' F R F'
PLL U' then U-perm U2

Do a timed solve for this, tell me what you get.
(Hint: this could be a world record scramble)

My solve, using LBL:

Spoiler

Double X-centers: y' U' R'
Tips: l' r
3rd edge: U y R U' R'
No-AUF PLL skip.
For a total of 6 moves.

Cross on U

Interesting scramble; 3/4 of the cross is done. I inserted two F2L pairs before inserting the last cross piece.

^Nice though.

Now try this: D' F2 R' U2 L2 D2 F L2 R B2 D' B R D2 B U2 D2 F' U' F' L D2 B D2 F2
Still cross on top. Wow... Deja Vu?

Sick scramble. 8.43 full step:

Double xcross: y R' U F' U2 r' U R2 r'

Got 11.12 nl on this one. Unplanned x-cross but 2L OLL.

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

Inspection: y2

Cross: F2 U' L2 y' L D2

F2L: y' U' R U R' U R U' R'

R U' R'

OLL: (2 Look L - shape) (U2) f R U R' U' f'

(antisune) (U') R' U' R U' R' U2 R

PLL (anti-clockwise U Perm) (U y2 :fp) R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2

50 moves / 11.12 seconds = 4.49 (2 d.p.) tps. Pretty good.

Look at cross

2 move cross + Preserved pair

Scramble from qqTimer.

I got 17.44 with it.

How do you get the 2 move cross from that o_O Isn't it a 3 move?
