The scrambles above are chosen randomly. Even if we are colour neutral, you can see if you can solve the Cross in 3 steps.
Suppose there is 1 out of 10 scrambles whose Cross can be solved in 3steps, this means the possibility is 1/10. If there are straight 2 scrambles like this, the possibility is 1/10×1/10=1%.
Besides this, these scrambles are so easy that 99 out of 100 people would solve the cross in the same way. This means 99 people will face the same F2L.
Moreover, the F2L were very easy, so easy that 90 people would solve them in the same way.
9.36, (14.11), 8.02, 8.19, (7.94)
If you let him solve the first one in 8 seconds, there was little possibility.
Except the worst one, there were 4 scrambles remained. There were 2 of them which I suspected he cheated.
The average of 5 like this is NOT reliable. The reliable one should be avg of 10.
Because there will not be so many good lucks in 10 solves (I strongly suspect he must be cheating!)
Let him solve 5 out of 10 under 8.2s!
This means, you need fewer steps and 5 lucky scrambles to make him solve them in 8.2s. If he's not cheating, then it's impossible!
How to make the comp more fair!
I came across with a way:
Make a database which everybody approves. There should be 10-100 thousand scrambles in it. Only an approved database is fair!
In this database, there shouldn't be any scramble whose Cross can be solved in 3 steps.
We need cautious scrambles to those who rank top 500. We need an approved database. Why not use it?
The approved database will make those sub15 cubers not only see the new world record, but also convince them wholeheartedly.
