Mmhh... I think clock is a bit different. Yes, it does take longer to scramble than to solve. But, scrambling a clock is fairly easy and not that slow after you've done it a few times. And it's easier if you know how to solve the clock. Scrambling megaminx with the scramble algs gives even *me* a headache and takes me 3 minutes or so for the 60 moves. That's why for practice I prefer doing 100 "humanrandom" moves, taking me 40 seconds. Also, in case the clock scrambler made a mistake, there are many people who can just solve it in a short time for a new scrambling attempt. Megaminx takes *everybody* a long time and Square-1 takes *almost* everybody a long time.
