Help, I messed up

[KConny]

Hi. I just broke my record for normal 3x3 avg (16.68). The problem is that CCT was set to generate 17 move scramble since I imported Arnauds FMC scramble in to it. But I'm unsure if I can count this as my best avg. No crosses were easy, and after that the 17 scramble didn't matter since i didn't use the optimal solution.
Anyway, here are the scrambles:
L' R' D L U' L' D2 B' F2 U2 R2 B2 F2 D2 U' B' F'
B F' U' R U' B2 R2 D' R' D2 U' R U F2 R D' F
F D2 F L2 D' R' F2 D2 U F' U2 R' U' B F2 L2 R2
L D F' L2 R F' R2 U L2 R2 B' L' R' D R' B' F2
F2 L D' L' D B2 F2 L' B' L' R' D U2 B2 L R' F
D U2 L' R2 U L D2 U F' R2 D2 U2 L2 B D U2 B2
L2 R2 B2 F U B' L R F' D' U L2 B F' L' B' D'
U2 F L2 R' D U' B2 F L' R' D2 B2 L2 R2 B R' U
B' D' U2 B F2 D' L R' D2 B2 R B' U R' B2 L D
L' R2 D2 L R F L2 B' L' B2 F L2 R' D2 U2 F R'
L' R B' F2 R2 D' B2 U B2 F L' R' F2 L' R2 B R2
D2 B' F D2 U B D U B D2 L R2 B' F' R' F U'

17 moves scramble are not neccesarily easier than 25 move scrambles, especially if you are not color neutral.

If you think that you didn't have lucky/easier scrambles than it is ok.
Personnaly, I would just repeat with 25 move scrambles and break that record again

I had one likke 2 move cross.
Yeah, I'll probably beat this soon, but it's easier said than done.

Lengths of optimal solution for D-cross: 5, 5, 2, 5, 5, 4, 6, 6, 6, 3, 6, and 5 moves. That's significantly easier than what truly random positions would give on average. Then again, 25 random moves isn't enough to get a perfect distribution, either. It's up to you what you want to count as your records.

 

[AvGalen]

Let's not get into a "perfect distribution" is or is not more chance of an easy scramble debate. If it felt like the scrambles were easier than usual it shouldn't be counted, but you just have to decide yourself.

Yeah, I know it's up to me to decid. But your inputs helps me decid. I should just wait to make a decision, and before I know it, it will be beaten.
