Hi everyone,

For a while now I've been noticing I often get the same scramble when handscrambling. Sometimes even once every 3 solves. In the last few weeks of solving the same damn scamble I memorized the solve completely.
Using cube explorer I found the generator which is
R2 D2 F' U2 R2 B' U2 F R2 F U2 F2 L U R2 U' F2 L R' B2 U2 (21f)

Even though this is not a legitimate speedblind (for which you can't move the cube in preparation) and it's actually a practiced solve, I think it's still reason for a video.

Also, when solving this scramble seeing it takes me around 14 seconds (compared to my 24/25 second average)

And for me it was funny to make a flaming post to see your "but i thought that..." comment and feelin' bad

you got April fooled (at least by me)
I actually like your vid :)
 
Can you tell me your hand scramble? Not the optimal, but all the moves you make. Do you do cube rotations? How many moves? I often hand scramble and I've never noticed repeats. I'm intrigued.
 
try using a lot of wide turns and slice turns if you notice yourself scrambling the same (used to happen to me occasionally.)
also throw the cube in the air mid scramble to randomize further.
