No warm up, so I failed. Should've been sub-10; sub-11 at the very least.

qqtimer just gave me this scramble. 2 move cross with 2 f2l pairs already made. I am slow so i got like a 19 second solve. But please just give this a shot. Thank me later haha.

That took me like 12 tries and knowing the whole solution to sub PB it. I had a 54 move solution, even with the easy start.

qqTimer gave you a 25 move scramble? Did you select old style instead of random state?


I didn't know it was possible to fail this much on one OLL.

The real scramble: D' F' L2 D2 F2 B D R2 F2 U2 R2 F U2 L2 D2 F' L2 U2
The misscramble: D' F' L2 D2 F2 B R2 F2 U2 R2 F U2 L2 D2 F' L2 U2 (I omitted the first D) <-- do this one

Don't look here til you've tried the solve!
Me getting the scramble
Reconstruction by Brest
According to Robert Yau, skipping F2L like this has a 1 in 3.66 billion chance (1/3657830400).
According to Brest, "That scramble tho... only skipped one move to make it an 8 move scramble :eek:" and "Optimal for the actual scramble is 15 too :cool: "

EDIT: A bit more Roux-Like

My friend's solution:

Yeah I have it on old style, but I have never changed it. At least I haven't switched it on purpose. Should I be using random state?

I feel like I just watched myself do an advanced walk through solve. haha. That was amazing. Good find.

Yes.
A random state scrambler choose uniform randomly from all the possible scrambles; while with the old style, some scrambles are more (or less) possible than others. That's why the official scrambler always use random state, if that is possible.
