Kimmo Eriksson is a 14 year old computer fan who lives in Stockholm.
  As mentioned, he solved a series of 10 cubes in 47-61 s, average 52,
using 70-120 moves, average 95 (half-turns and slices counted as one).

* He always starts with the WHOLE yellow layer (regardless of ini-
  tial state, probably because the regularity allows faster reflexes)
* Then the middle layer (betw. yellow and white)
* Then all top-corners into place, then into correct orientation.
* Finally turn and move the top-edges (requires 0-3 macro-moves).

  He keeps strictly to this scheme, but uses a large set of macros,
that are different longer varities of the following basic five:
  For middle: RUR'U'F'U'F
  Move corner: RU'L'UR'U'LU
  Turn corner: RUR'URU2R'U2
  Move edge:   MU2M'UMU2M'UMU2M'  (M moves the Mid-line of the Bottom
  Move and turn edge:MUM'U2MUM'       up Front, ie = LR' )

  For timing, he starts a stopwatch, grabs the cube, solves it
- while watching (easy) the watch during the last macro in order to
read off the time exactly as the last macro is completed.
  After re-mixing the cube, the procedure is repeated (10 times).
