That looked awesome. I mean, I could see that by only doing 4 to 5 moves one could change a matched cube into something that to a layman would seem totally scrambled but isn't. Yet to get those 5 moves done in a toss is mighty awesome. Sometimes I'll be doing a cube & will be really close to the end but the cube will look like it is all scrambled up. In fact it looks more scrambled up than it would have at an earlier stage in solving it.

So do you feel there's an element of betrayal in every such undercover assignment that you do? Does that bug you at all over time? Or does the larger good of the whole venture assuage any such guilt? Were all the foot-soldiers in the neo-Nazis or Rhodesian militias that you infiltrated loathsome creatures or did you in hindsight have any pangs of guilt about winning their confidence, and being pally, all the while planning on exposing them?

The per watt cost of a photovoltaic in USA ($5/W for residential according to Wikipedia) seems highest of any nation in the world. Why is it so expensive to install photovoltaics in the US? Even the Germans seem to pay less than half of what we do for a solar cell. What exactly are we doing wrong?

Have we achieved grid parity in the US for solar power? Sans any subsidy does it make sense to generate solar power or buy from the grid? Or if that's too vague, in what cities / states would you say it is currently cheaper to generate than buy from grid?
