I got a 12 move scramble a while ago

How did cs timer generate a 12 move scramble
U' R' B F U2 F2 U L2 D L' B F
what are the odds of this happening

At Sofia Autumn 2018 , there was also a 12-move 3x3 scramble generated... it was an extra scramble tho, so I don't believe anyone actually got it.

Biggest fail of my life. I'm actually so disappointed rn. I couldve easily gotten sub-1, but I locked up and failed.

The scramble starts off very well, that’s all that I will say.

2x2 scramble with two sides solved, just a PBL case.

cstimer generated this weird scramble:
B F2 L2 U' B2 U B2 U B2 U B2 U F D2 L' U L F D U2

It's not the end result what is weird, but the scramble itself, because in the middle there is a (B2 U) 4 times in a row...

 

[Renslay]

This scramble:
B R U' F' L2 D F' B2 L2 U' F2 B2 L2 B2 D' L2 D' F2 D L'

led me to a 38-move solution Roux solve, giving me a 11.46, which could have been much better, but I was baffled by the second block.
The second block was shorter than the first block! (8 moves FB, 6 moves SB, short CMLL, what the heck...?)

This solve was actually so unfortunate, I had a huge pause on the ZBLL, and it's still almost PB. I tried it again right after and got it in 3.6 seconds, so this should've been like mid to low 4.
