To: Cube-Lovers at MIT-MC

Frequently when I play with the cube, I try to solve it in as few
moves as possible.  I find this to be more intellectually challenging
than going for speed.  Does any one else do this?  I'd be interested
in comparing notes.  Presently it takes me between 70 and 100 quarter-
twists, provided I don't make gross errors.  (My guess is that if I
were counting slices and half-twists as one, the number would be
between 50 and 70.)
