Alright, now more seriously: Have you tried speedsolving your Domino? I got interested in this recently and took the unofficial records for it easily, though that's mainly cause I'm pretty much the only one doing it :-(. I have a "normal" scrambler already (http://tinyurl. com/9vxr8) and I'm writing a better one at the moment (I'll generate random *states* and let CubeExplorer solve/generate them).
