Spoiler: Don't read this unless you have solved scramble 12

Spoiler: I'm serious

Spoiler

The scramble is constructed!! I set the cube up and used Cube Explorer to get a scramble. Count it as a PB if you want (I wouldn't)

 

[WickedMartyb]

Got messed up by a few g- perms (still learning them) but thank you for scramble 12, beat my PB by 3.4 seconds!

26.75, 23.02, 22.32, 24.17, 23.67, 19.53, 23.72, (29.67), 24.07, 21.77, 26.40, (10.35!!!!)

Ao12 23.54

PB single Was a 3 piece cross, 4 super easy f2l, that t shape oll with headlights and a t-perm.

 

[WickedMartyb]

Damn you!

Last round - Round 30

lol at the single and the average.

 

[WickedMartyb]

How many times did you try that single for a 5 sec solve? To go from 20+ to sub 6 is a bit drastic

 

[YddEd]

How many times did you try that single for a 5 sec solve? To go from 20+ to sub 6 is a bit drastic

Around 3-4 times. First try was like 0.12 slower than yours.
btw I was doing CN Roux for all of the solves except for that one, CFOP for the last one.
whyareyoureadingthis?

 

[WickedMartyb]

Fair enough.
Why are you asking the reason as to why I'm reading.. on a forum? Generally you read and discuss on forums.

 

[YddEd]

Faz should try that scramble.

He would probably mess it up with some rotationless insertions, but still get a faster time than any of us poor sup-20 solvers!

 

[sneaklyfox]

That's some scramble, Schmidt... just crazy... F2L. Could you make one that doesn't require rotations or is more fingertrick friendly?

 

[Schmidt]

That's easy! Reverse the PLL, OLL, F2L#4,3,2,1 and cross that you want, put the cube state into Cube Explorer and make it solve it. The reverse of the solve is your scramble (~20 moves)

EDIT: I think it is called solve and generate.
For instance you could reverse the easy J perm, OLL skip, R U R' insert and a 8 move triple X cross. I think that you would be able to solve it in a time around, say, 4.41 or something.
