So I recently had an idea for a thread and this sort of thing doesn’t have a thread, so I decided to make one.
The way this works is that you post a scramble and a solution, then other people can find a better solution, using the same method.
“Better solutions” could be anywhere from finding a slightly better cross, to pseudoslotting
(Mods please move this thread if it is not in the correct location)

I’ll start it off:
CFOP (42 STM)
Scramble: R F' R2 D2 B' D2 F D2 F R2 B' R2 U2 L' D B2 L2 B' L' B2 D2
Cross: z2 y2 D R’ F L F D
P1 - L U2 L’ U’ y R U’ R’
P2 - y2 R’ U’ R L’ U L
P3 - U’ R’ U R U’ y R U’ R’
P4 - U’ y’ R U R’ U’ R U R’
OLL - r U2 R’ U’ R U’ r’

y x // inspection
R D' U' x' U' L F' L2 D2 U L F' R' U R L' U L U' L' D' // xx-cross while pairing up a pair
y U' R' U R2 U R' U2 U2 R U' R' // F2L completed
R' U' F' U F R U' R U2 R2 U' R U' R' U2 R U2 R U2 R' U' // 1LLL

54 moves. This might be easy and really pauseless to execute because mostly everything is planned at it is a 1 look last layer.

not better, but fancy because of non matching blocks and roux
z // inspection
B' U' B u' r2 u2 // First Block (6/44)
r2 U M2 U' R' U' M' U2 r' U r // Second Block (11/44)
U2 F R' F' R U2 R U' R' U R U2 R' // NMCMLL (12/44)
M' U' M' U M U' M' U' M2 U M U2 M' U2 r2 // LSE (15/44)
Overall F2B were really good, but LSE killed the solve. Someone who knows EOLRb could probably do it better.

Roux is better!

z // inspection
u' r2 u B' U' B u // First Block 7/39
D' R U' R' D U R U2 R' U R U' r' // Second Block 13/39
U' R2 D' R U2 R' D R U2 R // CMLL 10/39
M2 U M U' M' U' M' U2 M' // LSE 9/39

wow that was close to the xxcross. sadly didn't beat it );
that LSE was crazy though, EO to LR cancelation and LR to L4E cancelation.
