Congrats to Wong for setting his first world record and finally breaking the 21 tie. Great speedsolver as well as puzzle designer. Video explanation of his solves:

When the last 6 Average WR have been whole numbers. One 22.00, four 21.00, now 20.00.

I think this record could last a while. Cale Schoons first average lasted more than 3 years because it had a 1 move jump from the previous record. 22.00->21.00. I think the 20.00 could last maybe longer even before it’s broken. I could see it being tied soon, but to break it will be a challenge.
 
So now, for every set of scrambles there's a very small chance (roughly 0.00000000000000000000000000015%) that it is impossible to break the WR mean.
Oh the fact that there is even a chance that a scramble could theoretically guarantee you not breaking WR is insane. I mean, I knew the concept for single made since, but this is the first time for me thinking about it in terms of averages.

Interestingly, there are so few records standing that were pre-covid. Cale Schoon's first record was months before covid. There are only three pre-covid records left. FMC single, and both BigBLD Averages.
