These days, I will sort and build simultaneously. As I'm looking for a
piece, I will sort out a few other pieces I notice, until I find the piece
I'm looking for. Then I'll build some more, until I get stuck on another
piece. Then I'll hunt'n'sort some more.

You heard rumors about that? I know I made a 'supposition' about it, but I
never heard anything that could be considered a rumor. Then again, I'm not
as well connected as some people.
