was doing an average and got this scramble and all i could say was just WOW you can pretty much do cross+1st f2l pair in just one quick motion and the rest is simple and its just amazing.

i wanna see what some of the really good people can get on this
cough cough harris cough cough

i only got 11.51 cause yeah... i suck lol :p

12.61 here, so I'm even slower lol. Yeah that was crazy.

wtf :p

No i scramble with cross on D , so yellow on U Red on F

so white cross, whats so wrong with that? you guys are Cross bullies! :p

WCA rules: you scramble with lightest color (white) on U, and next lightest (green) on F. That's how you're supposed to do it, and that's how I was told to do it when I scrambled at the DC open.

Most hilarious thing just happened to me. I got 12.61. Only difference, I used Petrus lol.

Only 4 bad edges, finished the F2L was nice, a pair got set up when I was doing the first block. Sune OLL (although I use a different alg) and 3 edge cycle to finish it.

First solve on a 3x3 ALL DAY. I've been too busy playing with my v-cube, lol.

visible 1x1x2 block there and when I did it i managed to get a the 6 move T-case as OLL and a T-PLL... Lol but I did the cross badly anyway and got an average time.

I didn't really like the merge of these topics. I had a hard time finding this scramble again!:mad:

I also wouldn't call this scramble easy.......but I found a way to make it look easy anyway. I wrote it down like a FMC-solve, but it actually is a speedsolve (remember, I don't know OLL/PLL):
X-Cross (6): L2 F L' y R U2 R
2nd pair + prepare 4th pair (12): R U2 R' U' R U2 R'
3rd pair + save 4th pair (20): d' L U L' d L' U' L
4th pair (22): L U' L'
Edge OLL + AUF (27): R' U' F' U F R U'
Corner OLL (36): L2 D' L U2 L' D L U2 L
"forced" PLL-skip

Not everyone is going to scramble that way. As you very well know, WCA regulations have cubes scrambled with white top green front, and that's the closest thing to a standard we have. If you're doing something different, you could at least say something.

I should do my scrambles holding white on left and post up amazing scrambles that no one can figure out.
 
I got 9.67, I think this is my first sub-10 time, but the scramble was very easy indeed.

My solution:

Cross: y R'
1st pair: L U' L'
2nd pair: U2 R' U' R U R' U' R
3rd pair: U' L' U L U' L' U' L
4th pair: U2 R U2 R' U R U' R'
OLL: U' f' L' U' L U f
PLL: y' R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R'

I saw most of the F2L during inspection, first two pairs were trivial to see and since one pair was in the wrong slot from the start, it was quite easy to decide to leave it last. No cube rotations during F2L :). Amazingly easy LL too.

Whenever you provide scrambles you should assume that people use the WCA orientation, which is white on top, green on front.

I spent a few more minutes on this one and found a way to actually break the wr of 7.08 (not me, but the fast movers over here). The start is as I described before, but I continue with an OLL-skip. I also wrote down the solution more like a speedsolving solution.

Can anyone break 7.08 using this (choose your own way of doing the PLL)

Cross (1): y' L'
1st pair (4): R U' R'
2nd pair (12): F R' U' R F' L' U2 L
prepare final 2 pairs (16): y' L U L'
Final 2 pairs + OLL-skip (23): y' U2 R U2 R' U L' U L
PLL-suggestion: U L' U R U' L U L' U R' U' L U2 R U2 R'

Or if you like this PLL better:
Final 2 pairs + OLL-skip (23): y' U' L' U L U2 R U2 R'

How did i not know of that V perm before? :eek:

I love you! :)
 
I got a non lucky 8.21. It would have been way better, but I ended up getting a backwards R perm which I'm terrible at. Here's my solution:

Cross: y' L'
First pair: R U' R'
Second pair: y' R U' R' y' R' U' R
Third pair: y' U' R U' R' U R U R'
Fourth pair: U R' U' R
OLL: U r U R' U R U2 r'
PLL: y U' R U2 R' U2 R B' R' U' R U R B R2
 
Hah.
I got this for OH today:
B2 U B2 F' L' R D U B2 F2 D R2 U' F2 U' F L2 R' D L2 B D' U' B F'

Shelley will particularly like this one.
And Arnaud, please do magic on it. I'm expecting sub-20, and you have 10 minutes for it. :p


15.19 OH. With an N-perm. Had I used the comm alg, I might easily have had sub-13 (Come on! 3ATM double-xcross!):
r'R' U'u' F'
zL'RU'R'U'L
U2'R'U2R'DRU2'R'D'R2
U2+{U-perm}

I just checked the scramble and I accept the 10 minutes challenge.

First attempt: Regular F2L + edge-control, fail because of 2 twisted corners
Tripple X-Cross: R' L' F' B'
Create pair + create a 1x2 block: L D L' D'
Flip edge + create another 1x2 block: L2 B' L2 B
Finish F2L+ bring all blocks together: D L' D' L2
