I was using this timer and instead of getting a 16.00 I got a 15.100 lol.
I didn't even see this post until after I tried out the timer and hit the exact same issue, lol.

The problematic piece of code:
JavaScript:
function increment(start) {
	advance = setInterval(function () {
		timer.style.color = "white";
		if (running == 1) {
			time = Date.now() - start;
			var mins = Math.floor(time / 1000 / 60);
			if (mins <= 9) {
				mins = "0" + mins;
			}
			var secs = Math.floor(time / 1000 % 60);
			if (secs <= 9) {
				secs = "0" + secs;
			}

			var hundredths = Math.round(time % 1000 / 10);
			if (hundredths <= 9) {
				hundredths = "0" + hundredths;
			}

			timer.innerHTML = mins + ":" + secs + "." + hundredths;
		} else clearInterval(advance);
	});
}

You cannot safely do round-to-nearest (Math.round) on individual components of the time; you have to round the time to centiseconds first, then compute the minutes/seconds/hundredths components from there. (It actually also "works" to replace the Math.round with Math.floor (round to minus infinity), but this causes a −0.005 bias. Then again, flooring also matches WCA regs on how to handle rounding, so pick your poison.)

Also also, use performance.now() instead of Date.now() when measuring elapsed time. Guaranteed monotonic clock (it doesn't care about system clock adjustments) and doesn't (shouldn't) break in the presence of leap seconds.

Also also also, bad scramble generation. :/

17 moves is much too few for random-move scrambles. Make the scrambles at least 25 moves long, or use a proper scramble generator. In fact, the scrambles are too short for all the n×n×ns.
