Ed,

I ran your log file through my program and these are the results:
2-Color pieces solved: 14 / 720
3-Color pieces solved: 8 / 1200
4-Color pieces solved: 6 / 600
Total solved: 1.111 %

The way this works is it counts the number of 2C stickers that are correct
and divides by 2 (throwing away the remainder) to estimate the number of 2C
pieces solved. It repeats for 3C and 4C, dividing by 3 and 4 respectfully to
get the above estimations. Now it is possible that a couple of pieces happen
to have one or two stickers correct, even though the pieces themselves are
not in the right spots, and there is no detection for this case, so the
numbers that appear above should be considered overestimates and the actual
numbers may be slightly less than above, but certainly not bigger.

It looks like you can claim a little more is done that you originally said!
;)
Then again, maybe this isn’t accurate enough to claim much at all. What can
be said is my program is more accurate the colser to solved you are, so it
is best used for those cases. Anyways enjoy.

If anyone else would like me to run their log file through the program, just
let me know. Sorry Nan, but you are right, my program only works for the
Magic120Cell program’s log files for now. :/
