This is your internal spec and you know what circular and 
linear shuffling means, right? To make its way into user
documentation this section may need some clarification.
If you like, I can give you a hand with that.

On a side note, I am not opposed to shuffling patterns leading
to different degrees of complications. I sometimes like to be
surprised if a known level is rather recreational or rather
demanding. The solving times are meaningless to me anyway.
