Well, if you give a look in the WCA database, you'll see my times at
Brussels Summer Open: I averaged at 57 s, which is in fact quite close
to your times.

Wow... I never considered that my times would be tournament-worthy!  I use a

2-look F2L and a 4-look LL!  I could definitely get faster by learning F2L and

PLL, but my biggest weakness is the cross.

 

All the Best,

David

Thibaut,

That's a very good suggestion. It wouldn't be a trivial change because
we want to support more puzzle types and therefore this sort of feature
belongs in the core polygon generation code. Also I tend to only work on
this in spurts between jobs and don't know when the next chance will
happen but I like this idea very much, especially because it would be
very helpful for more complicated puzzles.
