    Cool effort.

    However, I'd like to ask for a few corrections: http://ruwix.com/the-rubiks-cube/off...scrambler-wca/
    That URL does *not* contain an official scrambler; "Official" has an exact meaning in cubing. "official" and "wca" should be removed from the URL, else it is simply misleading (and I would expect it to mislead people into thinking they're using "official" WCA scrambles). Further, the page says it generates generates "random permutation" as well as a "25 steps length permutation". That's not what's normally considered a "random permutation", and certainly not up to the quality of WCA scrambles.
    Also, the same holds for the URL http://ruwix.com/rubiks-cube-widgets...ube-scrambler/ and any text links to these pages.

    If you'd like a random-permutation scrambler, feel free to use the Mark 2 scrambler. It will also give you access to a more efficient solver.

    But anyhow, great to see people making more efforts. It's awesome that everything here is in HTML. :-)

    Yeah the solver is pretty cool. Yet, I reccomend using a faster method to solve it, and lessen the moves to solve it.

    True, but the permutation of the cube is still random.

    Yeah, same thing for the term "random-state scramble". But no one says "Markov random-state scramble" but me, and no one bothers using other clear terms like "uniform random state scramble" for 3x3x3, so convention *has* to count for something. If you say "random moves", that's accurate enough, but "random permutation" suggest like you're trying to make a misleading distinction.
