Easy / Lucky / Hard / Weird scrambles Thread

sit down on a chair, ready your timer, and make a PB.

D' F2 U2 B2 R2 D R2 B2 U R2 B' L' B2 L D' B R2 F D

originally an F2L training scramble but I think the F2L training scrambles are quite the same with regular 3x3x3 scrambles.

(white top, green front, yellow bottom)
U' y L U2 L2 U' L y2 U' L' U L R U R' U2 y L U' L' U y' L' U' L U' x' R U R' D R U' R' D' U'

I got 8.80, but its not regular.. i count 10.84 as my pb. That was NL.

Three move cross, easy look ahead, OLL skip, and then an Ab perm.

Cross on U.

Did the scramble and I see no easy cross on U.

Did the scramble and I see no easy cross on U.

It has a 4 move cross with a preservable f2l pair how is that not easy

 

[TDM]

It isn't really the cross that's unusual; it's the two completed corner-edge pairs (blue-orange and green-orange). It also only takes two moves - F' D - to join the red-blue edge with the RBW corner: these moves also don't break up the two completed pairs.

 

[Brest]

In this case, "Cross on U" tells you to scramble with your cross colour on U.

Some 2x2 scrambles:
U2 F2 R2 U' R2 U' F2 R2 U'
F2 U R2 U' F U' F' U F2

Wow, only 1 difference of the white red pieces going from UR to UB. Same orientation and everything :0

Good for ZZ, but it's also nice for CFOP (easy cross with a corner-edge pair already made)

The first step of the Belt method is to solve E layer.
