Hi Chris, You're welcome, and thanks for all your appreciation :D This also gives me the opportunity to publicly thank Melinda and Don myself. When Melinda ...
Hi all, Thanks for the kind words. Like you, Chris, I did a bit of work with reset puzzles in order to come up with my algorithms, and I recorded macros when ...

While we're on the topic of the wiki, would it be possible for whoever administers it (I'm assuming it's you, Melinda) to allow for log files to be uploaded?...
When I tried to upload mine it told me that .log files aren't a permitted file type. It only allows a handful of image types. --Anthony Deschamps...

Hi. I am a new enthusiast of 4D cube, not able to solve it yet, but still trying. It is great that you made the program open source, so being a java programmer...
Hello Roman, Thanks for the contributions! An important part of making this an open source project is get community help with the code. Unfortunately there are...
I agree with Roice that Don lives on a higher mental plane. It's been a multi-decade collaboration that's worked really well since it required both of our...
Dear Cubists, On the downloads page <http://code.google.com/p/magiccube4d/downloads/list> you will find the latest revision 130 jar file. This version contains...
Hi fellow hypercubists, I was sharing my experience on the "{5}x{5} 3" (Uniform Pentagonal Duoprism) puzzle with Melinda, and she encouraged me to post an...
Because I like responding to myself... As an aside, it seemed I hit every possible parity problem along the way, ... I wanted to be a little more clear on...
I can understand how important it is to solve the 2C pieces around the rings first. When I did the {5}x{4}, I made quite a bit of progress before realizing...

And yes, I loved your description of your experience. Thanks so much for writing it up. I'm sure that everyone else appreciates it as much as I do. :D ...
Hello Roice, and congrats on solving the {5}x{5} 3, and for sharing your story with us! I took inspiration from the fact that last night, when you uploaded...
... I hadn't noticed it before but you're totally right that there are two different kinds of 3c pieces! That means that sometimes we may need to be clear on...
... I've been pretty busy these days with many things. My wife and I moved into a new (to us) house this summer, which has taken up a lot of time, and I've...
My thanks to Chris for the cool insights about the duoprisms! And thanks to Melinda for the picture, dramatically showing the way stickers are slaved to their...
It was pretty easy for me to notice the torus locking stickers for me because of my custom color scheme. For instance, here is the longest list I have for 14...
And yeah, it seems that 4^3 is unique in this regard. What about naming conventions though? How do you decide what to use to notate the standard hypercube,...
Whoa, hold it right there! [Insert the sound of a vinyl LP scratching to a halt here.] Did anybody not notice that buried in Chris' message is the announcement...
Hi everyone, Sorry I haven't chimed in until now! I would like to thank and congratulate Melinda, Don, Jay, and Roice for their hard work and efforts in...
For the record, I think the permutation count formulas have been some of the richest contributions to the group :D They are definitely as helpful and...
Note: Melinda sent me a message similar to Roice's that I did not realize was off of the group until this moment. But I would like to thank both Melinda and...
David, Yes, you're quite valuable to this community. In fact I have another task that I'd love to put into your queue just after Roice's request, and this one...
Whoa, hold it right there! [Insert the sound of a vinyl LP scratching to a halt here.] Did anybody not notice that buried in Chris' message is the announcement...
... scratching to a halt here.] Did anybody not notice that buried in Chris' message is the announcement that he solved the dodecahedral prism?!?! That's...
Wow, thanks for entrusting me with this task! Now I actually feel like I will be contributing to the program itself! :) By the way, I (believe I) was able...
Tonight I started working on the piece-counting formulas. To be complete I have decided to find formulas for all acceptable polytopes. Unfortunately, I...
Damn it! After sending you previous message to Melinda I suddenly felt an urge to open simplex-2 because something was telling me that I'll be lucky this time...
For the wiki, I would like to suggest creating a standard template page for puzzles, and for all puzzle specific pages to use this template. This will help...
