40/9.73 = 4.11099692 TPS

I was turning slowly and consistently during the whole solve. Seemed to help. I recognized the COLL case and saw the 1x2x2 block in FR so I was partially expecting the skip.
 
Prisma Puzzle Timer, unbelievable scramble:
D B2 D' R2 L2 U' B2 D B2 U2 F2 R' U' L2 U' R' B U B' F2

cross on D.

Yellow is not my main colour, and I had a 11.16.
I really was hoping for my first sub-10, instead that's not even my PB (11.07 currently). I normally average 17-18 seconds. Damn!
 
11.67 L' U2 F D' F' U' L B' L' R D2 F2 D' F2 U' B' R U2 D R2 L F2 R D' L

Ridiculous scramble

Cross on bottom

I had my worst awkward OLL -> N perm and still got an 11.

Nice 1x2x2 block


As 1st solved; easy pairs & no rotations!

x2 L F' D F D R : Xcross
U' R U2 R' U' R U R' : 2nd F2L pair
L U' L' : 3rd F2L pair
R' U R : 4th F2L pair
R U R' U' M' U R U' r' : OLL
U' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' : PLL

More solutions with the same cross
With ELL CLL
x2 L F' D F D R : Xcross
U' R U2 R' U' R U R' : 2nd F2L pair

Sledgehammer & Conjugated PLL
x2 L F' D F D R : Xcross
U' R U2 R' U' R U R' : 2nd F2L pair
L U' L' : 3rd F2L pair
U l U' R' U x : 4th F2L pair with EO
U' R' U' y' (R' U2 R U2 R' F R U R' U' R' F' R2) B : conjugated PLL

Different pairs, still easy!

After F2L the LL just needs flipping and twisting. Surely there's an alg for that!

Different pairs again, still easy!
x2 L F' D F D R : Xcross
L U' L' R' U R : 2nd F2L pair
U2 L U L' : 3rd F2L pair

FMC solve
U R2 D R B D' R D2 R' D R D' R' B D2 B D' R' U' R D' R' U2 (23 htm)

NISS solve
U : Pseudo 2x2x2 (premove U)
R2 D R : Pseudo 2x2x3 (premove R')

Switch to inverse with premoves R' D' R2 U'
U' R : 2x2x3
D2 B' D2 B2 : F2L-1

Switch back with premoves B2 D2 B D2 R' U
R' D' R2 U' : F2L-1
B D' R : CE pair
D2 R' D R : CE pair
D' R' B' : leave 3 corners

Combine
U R2 D R B D' R D2 R' D R D' R' B D2 B D2 R' @ U
Insert (R D R' U' R D' R' U) @ : cancels 4 moves

@Best Where can you make pictures, how the cube is scrambled or for an turorial?

If you "quote" a post (each post has a "Reply With Quote" button) you will see all the tags and codes that were used.

To show a cube with an algorithm, use the following as a guide. Just remove the spaces from the tags.

[ cube ]size=100&pzl=3&alg=RUR'U'[ /cube ]

To create a spoiler: [ spoiler ] [ /spoiler ]

Lolol. I got a 42 but that's cos I suck.


EDIT: I wuz bored so I did an avg of 5 of some of the scrambles in this thread:
Average of 5: 6.99
1. 6.09 D R2 F2 L U B2 U R F2 U' R' B L' F' B D F D' F L2 R' B F R2 F2
2. (5.88) U' F' L2 B2 U R F2 B R' L2 B F' U L' B' F2 L D2 R' L2 U2 D L' B2 L2
3. 7.67 B2 U L2 U' F' D F B2 L2 D' L D L2 F D F U2 D2 B D' R F' U' B U'
4. 7.22 L F R' B2 R' L2 D U' L2 F2 B U D' L' D L' D2 U F2 L2 F' D' U L R
5. (7.78) F B' L2 D2 L' F2 B R2 U D' F' B2 U B D' B L2 U' D B L2 U D' L' U2

Scrambles from Potts, Otsyke, M4rQu5, JyH, Owen respectively. Heh.
