I believe mathematically you’re only 20 moves from solving in any sufficiently scrambled position .
Don’t know if they’re controlling for that or not but I suppose if that would matter depends on how far ahead of the previous record this is
Looking at the article it looks like it’s .08 seconds ahead, which taken as a % of total time strikes me as substantial enough as to not much matter. I’m counting 16 moves in the slower video (which was not the WR) but I’m also barely aware of this stuff so I could be wrong.
