I don't need to evaluate anything

 

[Mike Hughey]

The reason for the delay - a link to alg.cubing.net? Next time I try without Web links.

Yes, that's right. Apparently our forum software doesn't distinguish between website links; it just flags them all.

just wanted to propose a challenge: https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/threads/new-discipline-perhaps.73204/#post-1315856

Ten move scrambles are very very rare. Optimal from less than 16 HTM only occurs less than 1% of the time

what are you talking about? just generate a 10 move scramble dude. we're not talking as it naturally occurred
