I downloaded TNoodle and the scrambles it was giving me weren't more than 21 moves. There was even one that was 18 moves, but the average seemed to be 19 or 20. What is your source?Depends on the event. For 3x3, it's probably around 20-25 moves on average. Pretty sure it's more than 19 or 20, because the scrambles aren't optimal since that would take too long to find.
Note that the scrambles aren't just a list of random moves; they are a specific algorithm that leads to a randomly chosen state on the cube, so no scramble is favored over any other one.
