Easy / Lucky / Hard / Weird scrambles Thread

then why not do 10 or even 5 move scrambles?

 

[Bunyanderman]

15 to 20 is %33.33 increase 15 to 25 is %66.66 increase
big difference when scrambling 1000 times

 

[Julian]

No, not 5 or 10 moves more, just 5 or 10 moves.

 

[Bunyanderman]

No, not 5 or 10 moves more, just 5 or 10 moves.

now i understand, 5 moves can just be undone, 10 moves to many pieces still together 15 is what i find most optimal for speed/scrambled

It's fine if you want to practice with them, but most people wouldn't consider 15 moves to be enough, especially because a majority of cube states can't even be reached with 15 moves.

Also, when using 15 random move scrambles you shouldn't be surprised when you find an easy solution. You should kick it up to at least 18 moves, or just use a random state scrambler.

i am doing a average of 1000 so i dont want to waste time scrambling

*sarcasm on*
I did an average of 1000 with 1 move scramble, because I didn't want to waste time scrambling. Most of them were quite lucky, like one move cross.
*sarcasm off*

Seriously, if you do an average, even if it is that big, do it normally. If you short down the scramble (only about 0.21% of the states are reachable within 15 moves!), don't be surprised. Otherwise, it is just as valid as a hand scramble (or even less). Which by the way you could do faster and save more time rather than generate scrambles with shortcuts.

As Brest said, use a random-state scrambler. The scramble length is about 18-22 moves.

Yep, corners are great for 3OP

And for Boomerang.

Can anybody who use Roux try this?

What is the point for escalation? You could of just said use a random state scrambler, Only .21% are reachable with 15 moves

X-cross was not intentional. Good OLL for 2-look and nice PLL.
