I do it the way you do.  I am not sure this is the right way to do it.  I do it
this way because I did it the other way and picked a real lemon, and I was
pretty mad and changed it.

Doing it the other way might find some stuff faster though.  It comes down to a
comparison of how often you get a fail-high/fail-low on a good move as opposed
to how often it happens on a lemon, and I haven't tried to figure this out yet.
