Introducing qqTimer!

[qqwref]

Easy for speedsolving? That's just luck, enjoy your PBs. Scrambles are generated by choosing a random position and finding a solution, so it's very unlikely that a programming error could cause scrambles with easy blocks or whatever.

If you're talking easy for BLD, of course, then there might be a bug...

its may just be me, but recently, the 3x3 scrambles have been REALLY easy.

I think so too. Scrambles always either seem to be giving me an eo skip or 2 or 4 edges always in the same spot. When I use ppt or cstimer the scrambles are trickier

no, im talking about premade squares, 3 move crosses, easy stuff. cause i remember it was impossible for me to plan out a block in 15sec and now i can do it in 3s. weird

I think so too, my inspection has gotten better but even so it feels a bit too easy now on qqtimer to set up the eoline especially if the bad edges are always in the same spot or configuration.

How about a ELL scrambler for 4x4? Would be great

 

[vcuber13]

what method do you use?

 

[Petro Leum]

i have to confirm the "easy-scrambles"-bug. it cannot be coincidence - after reading the posts here, i tried it out and instantly set a "PB" Avg12 with 4 EO-Skips in a row, and 4 bad edges AT MOST. not that i dont like easy scrambles, but i dont think this is supposed to work like that

 

[aznanimedude]

I was wondering why I suddenly had like a bunch of 15 and 16 second solves. Made me sad lol. I have gotten better though but having consistently low times like those felt wrong lol. Explains my recent random pbs everywhere lol

 

[uberCuber]

I have also noticed this happening. I did about 150 solves a few days ago and had an extraordinarily high amount of scrambles with two cross edges already solved, and absurdly easy xcrosses

Uh oh.

 

[Petro Leum]

well yesterday evening i did an avg100 and didnt notcie anyting like that. but it might be just because i scrambled in official orentation and then rotated to my personal orientation with orange in front. today, when i tried this out, i scrambled in my orientation.

 

[aznanimedude]

that might be it
my orientation is yellow top and green/blue in front, just an x2 or z2 from official scramble orientation so yeah

I found and fixed an error in the scrambler, but I don't see any way it could have led to easier Roux blocks or crosses. It probably led to easier EOs though, so the few of you who use ZZ may have been onto something. The rest of you are just lucky

Just curious, what was causing it?

 

[qqwref]

In the customScramble function I wrote very recently:

      esum = 0;
      eori = 0;
      for (var i=0; i<4; i++) { // bug: should be i<eo.length
        var j = rn(2);
        esum += j;
        eori += j * Math.pow(2,eo[i]);
      }

 

[aznanimedude]

lol yeah all the bad edges being in the same spot made me wonder. as i said, i'm getting better but that was just ridiculous ahahahahahaha, it was fun pretending i was that fast while it lasted xD

I'm still uneasy, and it doesn't help that I got a ton of new 3x3 PBs within the past week (although I was using a new cube) Do you think it could have led to a higher chance of a rotationless F2L?

 

[aznanimedude]

if there's easier EO or even an EO skip, then yes that can lead to rotationless F2Ls

 

[ben1996123]

Yeah, the first scramble I got before the bug was fixed had an EOcross skip

 

[Pyjam]

Is there a way to use the bug as an optional functionality ?
