Hey folks!

I have this scramble and I don't know how to solve the white cross for this scramble in 8 moves (double moves included):

F' L F' D B L' R B' R' (white top, green front)

I tried to solve the cross quite a while, but I alway came up with at least 9 moves. I even tried to let an online solver find the optimal solution, but the solver didn't give me any answer.

Do you know the solution for this scramble?
 
This is what cstimer got for cross solvers:

U means white cross, D means yellow cross, etc
 
Thanks for you replies! I see that there are at least a handful of solutions out there.

Meanwhile, I realized that you can replace the L' R move in the scramble by a M move so that
L' B M x B' U' F R' F
also solves the cross in 8 moves.

Sometimes, you don't see the forest for the trees :D Thank you all! :)
