Interesting, would it be possible to define something like that for the cube ? in order to avoid scrambles that give you for example more than 2 pairs of pieces attached together ? But then we have a problem because there are different methods. So what's lucky for someone might not be the same for another person. But is a "measure of luck" possible to define for the cube or not ?
