Don't Skewb scrambles need to be at a minimum of 4 moves away from being solved?

Really? I thought the scrambles had to be a minimum of 4 moves not the solution.

Really? I thought the scrambles had to be a minimum of 4 moves not the solution.

Well, officially that would not happen because it's random state and it would have found the 2 move solution, therefore it would be thrown out.

Really? I thought the scrambles had to be a minimum of 4 moves not the solution.

Actually, in official competitions, the solution must be a minimum of 7 moves: https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/#4b3c
For 2x2, it's a 4 move minimum for the solution.

OH OK. Thanks, I guess I won't count it then.

Nonono, you don't need to use only one hand. Two handed is perfectly fine.

WV J perm. I love how with ZZ I'm getting sub-13 singles in Ao5s with a counting sup-30 in them ((34.41), 17.26, 23.30, 31.74, (12.90)). My times are so spread out with ZZ. And that 34 isn't even the worst solve of the session (and wouldn't be even if it was +2)...

number of times: 100/100

worst time: 22.79

current avg5: 16.68 (σ = 1.73)

EDIT: Here's the scramble for the 8.61:

This morning i got a new 5x5 PB single: 3:07.41, i know i am slow, but that beat my single PB by about a minute, and i average about 4:40 so i was pretty excited. Then i just did an ao50 and beat all of my 3x3 PB's in it.
Single: 18.25, over 3 seconds faster than previous
ao3: 22.41, about 2 seconds faster
ao5: 25.67 over a second faster
ao12: 27.83, a little less than a second faster.
and the grand finally: ao50: 29.79, about half a second faster.
I plan to continue the ao50 into an ao100 sometime this weekend, i have never done an ao100, but my goal is going to be sub 30!
I am glad that now all of my 3x3 PB's are sub 30, and happy about my first sub 20 solve.

14.xx single on green cross! I am not CN but one-move cross and easy 1st pair help.
On white would've probably been 11ish. I should work on my CN. I am alright but my recognition is a little slower. Though only like 2-3 seconds slower. I am finding cross harder and harder (and seeing easier ones on the other colors more).
