Haven't had a go at these yet, I'll try now

scramble: F' U' F U R U R' U2
L F2 U F' U' F2 L'

Scramble: F' U' F U R U R'
B L2 D F' D' L2 B'
R U' R' U' F' U F obviously
R U' R' F R' F' R also obvious

Ehh cba to find the rest right now, I'll do it later.
 
Without looking at stefan's spoiler

R U2 R' U2 F' U' F
(B' D' F' U F E' R ;))

Scramble 4: (no AUF)
R U' R' U' F' U F
R U' R' U2 F' U2 F
R U' R' F R' F' R
R U R' U' F' U' F
F' U2 L' U' L U2 F
B L2 D F' D' L2 B'
 
No, FMC isn't always HTM, here you can even choose between four metrics including STM:
http://fmc.mustcube.net/results.php

But I asked for HTM in the first post.

He is kind of correct! In offline competitions (WCA ones) fewest moves is always counted wrt htm :)
The thinkgs that have changed in WCA fewest moves competitions is the number of rounds and the time allowed. It always was and still is counted in htm, IMHO the best metric :-)

Per

PS! To be more precise: fewest moves and fmc are not entirely the same thing. Fmc is an online competition started by Dan Harris, UK. Later continued by me on my own website. FMC and (WCA) fewest moves have different sets of regulations. Etc ...

Check fmc.mustcube.net and wca fewest moves regulations ...

After seeing the hints, I still can't find this one.
B U B2 D' R2 D B
And I didn't realize it's just the inverse of another solution at the first glance.
