really...which one?

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

thrawst is god

 

[hdskull]

Harris Chan has a video full of crosses done when you scramble with cross on D.

 

[nitrocan]

do the ubersolve scramble

 

[AvGalen]

Generate a couple of scrambles
Remove the last 7 moves
Fix the crosses in 7 moves

 

[ShadenSmith]

Will the other person be doing the same scrambles?

 

[MistArts]

☼Probably not...☼

 

[ShadenSmith]

Then he's filth.

 

[hagendaasmaser]

You should just race him fairly. You know? Like the rest of us.

agree I'm all about fairness. Just like i was taught when i was a wee lad.

He(the challenger) said any scramble 25 moves long. I decided to go for the standard 40, and I did. I won with an average winning by 6 seconds.

 

[nitrocan]

since when is a 40 move scramble standart? any cube can be solved in less than 23 moves (+- 1 not so sure) so any more moves than 23 won't result in a better scramble.

I think it's 18.7 moves on average? I think that's what AvGalen said..

It says here that the max amount of moves required is 23, so after 23, you would just have another combination of a cube, rather than a better scramble.

 

[guitardude7241]

o okay, thanks for that bit of info

Most random scrambles on Cube Explorer are 19-21.

one of mines:
R D' U B F2 D' B2 F D2 U F2 L2 B F2 L B F L' R B' F2 R B L R
just awesome:
easy x-cross:
y x U (L r) D' R'
F2L:
D' R U' R' D
y R U2 R'
y U' R U2 R2 U' R2 U' R'
OLL:
U2 F R U R' U' F' /// f U R U' R' f'
PLL:
U2 R U2 R' U2 l U' l' U' R U l U R2 U
(tryed to write my execution down as good as I can, so the L r is some kind of strange and the lot of l turns in the PLL for less cube rotations/combining them)

If the scrambling is not done by a smart program, but instead by a person unacquainted with cubing, some of the twists might cancel out or be redundant. (For example, "RLR".) So it helps to have more than 20 twists in order to be more confident it is well mixed.

You are right though... Sometimes a spectator does about 50 twists, thinking all the extra twists make a difference.

Most random scrambles on Cube Explorer are 19-21.

Most random scrambles on Cube Explorer are 19-21 because they are found by using the 2-phase solver and only given a very short time to find them. If the 2-phase solver would be given more time it would probably be 19 moves or less every time (getting a 20 mover would be possible, but would probably not happen all your life)

Almost all scrambles will be optimally solved in 17, 18 or 19 moves.
Anything below 17 is very rare and anything above 19 is even rarer.

All scrambles that have been tested could be solved in 20 moves or less.

It has been proven that no scrambles can exist that require > 22 moves.

I hope that sums it up clearly. Look at the cube explorer website and help file for more information. http://cubezzz.homelinux.org/drupal/ is probably the best source for this type of information

One of the most amazing scrambles I have ever gotten.

was doing an average and got this scramble and all i could say was just WOW you can pretty much do cross+1st f2l pair in just one quick motion and the rest is simple and its just amazing.

B F R2 U' L' R D' L2 D2 R2 F' D U F2 L' R2 B2 F R' F U L R F' L'

i wanna see what some of the really good people can get on this
cough cough harris cough cough

i only got 11.51 cause yeah... i suck lol

12.61 here, so I'm even slower lol. Yeah that was crazy.
