Is this scramble lucky or easy/ or both?

[reThinking the Cube]

In an upcoming minor WCA competion, the 2x2x2 scramble ends up having a 4-move solution that nobody else spotted. A guy who normally averages around 9 seconds/solve pulls off a .77 for a new world record!!! I nicely mention that he was rather "lucky" to have that scramble show up in a comp, but he immediately begins attacking me, saying that in no way was that scramble "lucky", and that by convention, it could only be described as "easy". What do you think?

well it depends on the situation, if it was a case where he skipped a couple of steps then it's lucky. If he saw how it could be solved without using a method then it was easy. That's my run on it.

You really felt the need to make another thread so you could lose the same debate again?

Yeah, he told me that he skillfully used the first 4 moves so that he could skip all the rest of the other steps.

Where's the option on the poll that says "i'm an idiot for making this thread?"

I actually won the 1st one, but you don't know that yet.

You're such an ignorant little troll. Be careful, you may awaken the powerful banhammer.

Luck is not skill though. You can't be good at being lucky.

Why? Are you a 6x slower learner than the rest?

Your stupidity knows no bounds.

I just really think that you'd benefit the community by telling us 6 more times.
