Easy/funny/hard/weird scrambles thread

Hey guys,
there has lately been a lot of easy-scrambles-threads.
Why not just make one thread for it and post all those things here?
Makes a little bit order in chaos again

 

[Erik]

Another 'easy scramble' thread.
Nothing against showing easy scrambles but lets not make a thread for every one you find.
Lets just make a thread of easy scrambles...
I started it: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?p=76387#post76387

Cheers!

must resist............................................futile

OK, I will do them all, but only the F2L's (or other good starts). That means that if I do F2L I will try to get it as short as possible in about 15 minutes while trying to leave a nice LL (edge-control and/or corner-control)

Time right now: 10:30

First scramble: B F' L R2 D2 U2 B2 F' L2 R' D L2 R2 B F' D2 U2 F L2 R' D' R U' B' U'
10:33 First attempt: R2, B', U B2 D2, R B R' U'
10:38 Second attempt: R2, B', U B2 D2, U' L' B L
10:41 1 continuation anyway: D2 B' D2 B' D2 B2 D2, leaves 6 move OLL, B, corner 3-cycle
10:42 Now focussing on the F2L
10:45 "Different" approach, switch 2nd and 3rd pair: R2, L U' L', U B2 D2 (still leaves that 1 bad corner)
10:47 "Bad corner cancels nicely now": R2, L U' L', U B2 D2, D2 B' D2 B' D2 B2 D2
10:51 Bad corner becomes nice corner : R2, L U' L', U B D2
10:52 finish with B' D2 B2 D2
10:55 11 moves F2L is good enough? Bad last layer though! and because of the ending with half turns I don't see a way to do edge and/or corner control

Second scramble: R2 D' U2 L' B' F R' F2 L' B F L' B' L2 R2 F2 R' D2 U' L R2 B' L R B2
10:58 Saw some nice things, but no good way to do it all
11:00 D F L' breaks up to much, preserving it is hard. Trying to do tripple X-Cross
11:11 My head hurts, but I think I found a nice double X-cross with options for keyhole finish. Trying to recreate it
11:14 R, D F L', D' R2
11:18 R, D F L', D' R2, F R2 F, B' D2, L D L', D' B D' R D R' (doesn't seem to work)
11:26 R, D F L', D' R2, F R2 F, B' R' D R D2 F, D' B D' R D R'
11:38 Recreated the double X-cross with keyhole finish. Takes more moves for F2L because of the "edge control to forced OLL-skip" and leaves A-Perm (or 3-corner insertion, but I don't want to spent more time on this one): R, D F L', D' R2, F2 R2 F, R D2 R' , U2 D, F' D2 F, D' F' D F, U2 D (a premove U2 would make this easier to follow)

Third scramble: F R U2 B U B' R' D2 F2 D2 R' L F2 B U2 F2 B2 D2 B L' R U2 B2 F' U'
11:45: Coffee
11:46: That was mean Couldn't you have added a smiley? I should have known by the total time

Second scramble: R2 D' U2 L' B' F R' F2 L' B F L' B' L2 R2 F2 R' D2 U' L R2 B' L R B2
12:07: Try again (saw Lucas first 4 moves and realised I never tried doing the pairs in a different order)
12:10: R' F R2 F2, L B D B' L2
12:10: R' F R2 F2, D F L' F'
12:12: Kai and Janine arrived
12:10: R' F R2 F, D F L'
12:20: R' F2 R2 F, D F L' F'
12:30: (after coffee) R' F2 R2 D F L'
12:32: R' F2 R2 D F L', D' F' R D2 R', F D L' F L F' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Leaves only 3 corners after 17 moves

That's it for now guys

Lol sorry, it's still wrong :confused:

dont know what ur doign wrong

 

[shelley]

Thank you. We don't need the Speedcubing section to become the "OMG look how fast I am because I got this super easy scramble!" section.

 

[Durben]

Is it still wrong?
I changed it again.. hope it goes right.
If it's still wrong, pls. tell me on what step I'm wrong at.

 

[Johannes91]

The first D' should be D.

 

[martijn_cube]

the cross D' should be an D clockwise.

maybe you should copy this to the new collection page?

 

[Durben]

Thanks for the correction.

Should I copy to the new collection page?

 

[Erik]

Hey it's just a new idea not really a correction
But IMHO it'd be nice to post it there indeed. Although it doesn't really matter as long as the future people (maybe you too again) with weird scrambles would post it there.

 

[Rubixcubematt]

this is a fairly easy scramble with a 1 or 2 move cross L2 F2 L2 B2 D L F2 U R' B' D F L' U F D F2 U' L B2 U2 F' D' F' L', hope you like it

 

[Tim_Likes_Cubing]

Thank you. We don't need the Speedcubing section to become the "OMG look how fast I am because I got this super easy scramble!" section.

Calm down =/

L2 R B2 F2 L R' D U' B' D U2 F2 R2 D' U' L2 D2 R' U2 F D2 U F' D' R'
This is one of the easiest scrambles short of like double x-cross or something. My 12.22 OH single scramble

 

[cubekid57]

I got a 14.65 on derrecks's scramble.

Sorry. But the number of such threads was getting pretty ridiculous, especially considering the frequency of "easy scrambles" that actually come up in normal practice.

 

[DavidWoner]

this should be stickied.

also, people should post which side is the cross(that is only if they used fridrich of course.) and if they dont use fridrich they should state what method that its easy for.

 

[Lofty]

I think the assumption should be made that we are doing WCA regulations and scrambling white on top green in front and for most people white is cross so its assumed that you are scrambling cross on top. if you want to do anything other than that then it should be specified.

 

[MTGjumper]

Don't quite a few people scramble with their cross colour on D, because it seems intuitive to them? I do, and Harris, as an example, does too.

One I posted before: R2 U' R2 D B2 D2 F2 R2 U R2 B2 U R2 U2 L F2 L' D2 R2 D' B' F2 U' F2 U2

Edit: One I just got: B2 L2 D R U2 D F' D U' L F L' U B' F2 U2 R' L D' R' F' D' L2 R' F

X-Cross: L' B D R' U F2 (6)
F2L 2: L' U2 L U2 y' L' U' L (7)
F2L 3: U' R U R2 U' R (6)
F2L 4: U' y L' U L U' L' U L (8)
PLL: M2 U M2 U2 M2 U M2 (11) (?)

I did it in 12.15 seconds, but it should've been quicker. I was using my new white DIY cube, and my recognition is a bit off due to this at the moment.

Also, an interesting scramble similar to one I got a while ago (courtesy of hand scramble + cube explorer) but it's the cross that is the important part: B' L2 B2 R2 U2 B2 F D2 U L2 U B2 R' B' R' F D' B' U2 R2 B

I noticed the F2L slot that was already filled, and although I could've quite easily done a 6 move cross with cross on D, I did a U perm, which seemed to save time despite worse lookahead for F2L.

(I just did that scramble without a U perm and ended up with another OLL skip. D'oh!)
