Ridiculous Scramble

[Hadley4000]

Oops. Scrambled it wrong the first time. 18.16
I usually avg 28-29

 

[philkt731]

I got a sune and A perm with the triple x cross
y' R2 U D' L U2 D L
y' L' U2 L U2 L' U2 L
R' U2 R U R' U R
U2 y x R' U R' D2 R U' R' D2 R2
31 moves isn't as good as that 26 moves

ooooaah... here we go again. Now everyone do the scramble, get an amazing time and stroke your ego on how good you are (but remember you actually aren't).

Line up starts below:

I totally agree, what does threads like this one really accomplish?

Look at how people are doing the solve multiple times to find "special cases" like the triple cross... everyone knows there are "shortcuts" in this scramble and everyone is trying to find them. Maybe, just maybe, it will help someone spot one of these special cases in another scramble one day.

This certainly shouldn't be used as a bragging rights thread, it's more of a simple "informative" thread.

Yeah... although this is definitely my PB so far (12.90; I can barely average sub-20), F-perm = FAIL

QFT. Doing a solve knowing that a scramble is "easy" and looking for skips is completely different from doing your everyday solving.

Ridicoulous scramble. I found
F2
U D' B
D U2 B
U' R' U R
(leaving just 2 corner 3-cycles) withing 30 seconds

And after 2 minutes I found
F2
U D' B
D U2 B
U' R' U' R
U R' U2 R
U2 R' U R U2

That was amazingly simple. Triple x-cross, easy last CE pair, didn't get any skips but simple OLL and PLL. 33 moves using Fridrich, that's insane. I normally get 45-55, my lowest ever was 39.

I don't know why I counted, but I have that habit of counting moves while I'm solving to force myself to slow down in the F2L.

I made an experiment to create really easy scrambles. Here is my first try:

D2 F2 L D L2 D2 R' D F2 D R D2 R2 F U2 R2 D L2 D B R' D R U2 D2

Method:

1; Any random scramble is fed into Cubex
2; Generate a solution for the scramble.
3; use the first 15 turns of the solution as a scramble and run it in cubex
4; apply the first 10 turns of that second solution (the pseudo, not the inverse) to the end of the first 15 turns of the first solution and you got the scramble done

I have not tried that scramble yet but it looks easy

Edit: 4 turn XX-cross

F2L + LL edges in 17

19 turn LL makes 36 totaly (STM), that's easy!

XX-cross: U' D F2 D
1P: L U2 L' R U' R'
2p: L U' L' U' L U L'

COLL: L' U' L U' L' U R U L U' R' ... left Sune + Niklas
AUF: U
U-PLL: R2 d' M' U2 M d' L2

HeHe, tried the pairs in the diffrent order and got to a OLL-skip in 15 (using corner control, easy case) and left a J-PLL

Eh, sorry, it was 19 turns, forgot to count the cross.

Made another one:

B2 R' F B D U' L' F' U D2 F' L2 B D2 U D' F B' R' L' D L' U R F2

simplified the method a litte to save a step, this time I used the first 15 turns of a random scramble and then added the first 10 turns of the pseudo optimal solution to the end of it.

Clarification of what it really does: the first 15 turns scrambles the cube and the next 10 solves it partly. This leaves it in a state that is optimally solved in some 5-10 turns but the "scramble" looks compleatly random to anybody = hard cheating =)

I can make scrambles for an awsome 10(12) average if you like?

Edit: I just found my new scramble has got a "D2 U D'" passage, I can sort out scrambles that becomes like that...

I make a new one soon.

Here: D2 F L2 F2 R2 F U2 R F2 U2 B D F' R2 D' U' B R2 D' R2 U' F B R' U2

lol, it's got a 2x2x3 block in F2L and all edges oriented

To make it a little harder one can use like a 18/7 ratio instead of the 15/10 I used here.

How can you say lucky solve and PB in once sentence? IMHO it can only be with a NOT in between them. I thought we agreed on the non-written rule of keeping your best non-lucky solve as your PB?

Ah well, times change, maybe I missed something...

 

[joey]

As long as you say lucky PB, i think that's ok too!

 

[Erik]

Oh yeah, very sharp Joey

Ridicoulous scramble. I found
F2
U D' B
D U2 B
U' R' U R
(leaving just 2 corner 3-cycles) withing 30 seconds

And you can solve those by adding on R U' L' U R' U' L F D' F' U F D F' to the end, making it 24 moves (found in 1 minute)


EDIT:

F2
U D2 F2 D B D' F2 D2
U2 B
U' R' U R
15 moves leaves a 3-cycle of corners (found in 5 minutes)

I tried to find a canceling insertion after that one and couldn't. Even with no cancelations, it would still be 23 moves.

 

[isaacthecuber]

I did a quadruple extended cross.
It sad me up with easy OLL, a U perm, and no AUF.
