I haven't used any shortcuts for this specific benchmark in the setup, i.e. this result is representative of the general performance of this calculator for this type of problem, not for this specific benchmark.

With a cheat, ahem, "performance shortcut" for this specific problem:

Sharp EL-5100(S): 93 keystrokes

I'll buy the first person who finds this keystroke sequence a beer. If no one found it in 7 days, then I'll report the solution next week anyway.

PS (edit): just 92 keystrokes is also possible. So I have to restate the challenge slightly: the first person who finds a keystroke sequence of 93 or less gets a beer.
