Hardest Scramble ever?

[Lucas Garron]

This is stupid.

Maybe not. But note the interesting number paradox.

 

[Cubenovice]

This is stupid.

This and this scramble was already posted and tried in the FMC thread soon after the publication...

 

[chikato_tan]

i got a 14s with it

Without having followed the link, I pressume by 'hardest' they meant it took the most amount of cpu time to calculate the optimal solution?

"To date we have found about twelve million distance-20 positions. The following position was the hardest for our programs to solve"

 

[Godmil]

Bingo! There, that wasn't too difficult to work out now was it

 

[Stefan]

I want to know how far into a CFOP (or other common method) solve you can get and still need 20 turns. Is there a position with solved cross that still needs 20? Or even with one or more solved F2L pairs?

Now this would be interesting!!

What's God's number for LL? Anyone know it?

It's 16 I believe.

Edit: F' L2 B L B' U2 B L' B' L2 U F U' R U2 R'
Edit2: Thanks to this page. Just had to write a little program to find the longest algorithm. It's the only 16 move algorithm, interestingly.

Yeah dis was a hard scramble. took me 30 secs to SCRAMBLE it and 10 to admire the white Edge pcs which wen dropped one by one make the white cross in only 6 moves.
aw c'mon out of 43 quintillion possibilities this is the ONE?
wats the definition of hardest??
my newbie bro once told: Wen all 9 stickers on a face are of different colors thats the hardest! rolf. (It really wud be hard. jst imagine!)

[uberCuber]

the 'hardest' scramble is: (M U M U M U M U xy')x3

not for speedsolving

Are you horribly dyslexic?

 

[Owen]

The scramble in the OP is actually a very easy scramble for my method. I got 18.00 for it, while I average 23.

What is your method?
I am a rouxer... and got a rather good solve with this... (rather good move count also)

Edit:nevermind

 

[rishidoshi]

Are you horribly dyslexic?

no. strangely funny.

 

[MrRg52]

When you use the prime symbols it's easier. :0

 

[1996iscool]

I got a PLL skip with this scramble!
