Easy / Lucky / Hard / Weird scrambles Thread

Good thing this thread came back up to the top!

Yes, another one, Andy.
Do mine, Brest!
 
Cross on U

y R' F' U' L x2
y d2 R' U' R U2 R' U R
d R U2 R' U R U R'

Leaves 5 edges, not something you see every speedsolve :eek:
What would an FMC-er (or someone with more edge/corner cycle experience than me) do? :confused:

1st try. Not really a speedsolve, more alike to linear FMC.

L' F U2 F U2 R' : Xcross
F B U' B' : 2nd pair
U2 F' r U' r' : 3rd pair
U2 F U R U' R' : 4th pair & OLL skip
y Tperm

2nd try. Again, more like semi-linear FMC.

F L' U2 F R' : Xcross
F B U' B' F' : 2nd pair
U2 R U' R' L' U L : 3rd pair & 4th pre-made
U2 R U' R' U2 R U R' U F' U F U : LL block building

Breakdown of LL:
Two pre-made CE pairs; the F2L pair and a LL pair
U2 R U' R' : "hide" the LL pair in the F2L slot, while preserving the F2L pair
U2 R : 1x2x2
U R' : CE pair & EO
U F' U F : insert the F2L pair while the LL just comes together.
U : AUF

Just lucky, really.

3 move 2x2x3; which coincidentally cancel with the scramble...
 
4x4 scramble from qqtimer. The outcome of the scramble isn't so special, but just look at the scramble and you can see why I'm posting this.

Really easy x-cross: B2 F2 U L2 R' B' U' F D2 U' B F' L B2 F2 L R' D' U L' D' U L D2 U

Solution:

y L2 D' F D'
L U L' U' F' U' F
L U' L2' U2 L y' (L F' L' F)
U2 R U' R' U2 (F R' F' R)
U2
f (R U R' U') f' U F (R U R' U') F'
U'
x' R U' R' D R U R' D' R U R' D R U' R' D'

Not really optimal I guess. I would like to see someone else's solution.

Try out this scramble. U2 F2 L' F D L2 R2 F2 L' D L D' F2 R L B D' L2 R2 U2 F' R2 B2 R L
This wasn't my first speedsolve:

z2 R' D F' U2 F R' U R U' F2 U' R2
U L' U' L U' L' U' L
U' L2 D' L U2 L' D L U2 L
U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U'
 
11.81 R2 D' B2 U2 F L R' U2 L' B2 L2 R2 U2 L U2 F' B D2 B2 U' B' R' F' U2 B'

The most ridiculous F2L, everything just happened to work perfectly.

XCross : x2 y' F' L' F D2 L' R' F' (7)
F2L2+3 :y D L' U L D' (5, 12)
F2L 4 : R U' R' (3, 15)
OLL : U' F' r U R' U' r' F' R (9, 24)
PLL : U' R2 u R' U R' U' R u' R2 y' R' U R U' (14, 38)
