All cubes in each round are scrambled the exact same way (a computer generates a 40-move scramble that is scrambled by volunteers before the cubes are returned to the tables).
- nsilvestri 4y agoScrambles are not 40 moves, they're generally around 25 because they're somewhat optimized scrambles to reach a randomly generated state. Simply using a sufficiently long sequence of moves still provides some bias to certain cube states, which is why they don't do that.
