And if solving color neutral for FMC still causes you trouble, you also have the option of scrambling with a different orientation.

Good find, very interesting, and I think it is viable; I did feel like he was trying to sell me something, not explain a new method though.

Random question: Has anyone worked on software to simulate fingering for / estimate finger-friendliness of sequences of moves?

I've been working on a program that sorts a list of sequences based on their potential feel.

I doubt I'll finish it before the end of the year because something has come up.

Neat. May I ask roughly how you approach the problem?
I've thought about either searching for desirable fragments, or trying to simulate where the cuber's fingers would actually be, and what moves they would be ready to make without re-positioning. That plus branching when there are multiple ways to execute something (like when there are half turns that could go either way).
I've just been toying a tiny bit with the latter idea. I kept track of R turns, and considered it a negative to do a U (but not U') if the sum of R turns wasn't 0. Just a first stab, but it seemed to select better than average sequences from a list.

I calculated 3916 "unique" LL cases. I just counted the number of repeated cases in Kirjava's huge 2alg LL table and subtracted it from 4128 (43 rows * 96 columns).

Does this sound reasonable? Can anyone back this up?
