Hello Melinda! Thanks for your time and work on macros. I tested program and here are few notes: -I can save macros and use them but after closing program I...
Remi asked me to announce his new record for the shortest 4^4 with 1768 twists! Only a small improvement but it only takes 1! ... Nice going Remi! -Melinda...
Hello Remi! Thank you very much for testing the macro implementation. I also noticed that you used it in to achieve your recent shortest 4^4. Excellent! ...
Remi, Thank you for sending me screenshots showing the problem. That was very helpful. It was a puzzling problem but I believe that I have fixed it. Please try...
Hello M.! I have discussed with Michal one more thing with macros -> TIME. In linux version there are very very quick twists so macro (even with 100 moves)...
Hello Remi, Yes, you are definitely an opinion force but a very welcome one. You have helped prod me into motion, stimulated Roice into doing the 5D puzzle,...
Regarding an arbitrary number of reference stickers... it would make sense. 3 is always sufficient, so in the original implementation I made it always 3 for...

Welcome to the Group Ilia! On Monday, August 14, "ilia.smilga" ... In view of the fact that we are talking about terminology for a relatively new area of...
... Yes, you're right: I shouldn't have said it in this way. I only wanted to say that to my mind, this terminology seemed more logical; I did not mean to...
Hi Ilia, I enjoyed your post :) I wanted to answer the question you posed about the 5D cube. ... version? We are not planning to do a Mac or Unix version....
Hello Ilia! Glad to hear from a quiet member. I enjoyed hearing your story. ... That's very funny! You may be impressed by a half hour solution but I have not...
... Yeah, I think that would work fine if the underlying function wants 3. And for a zero-reference-sticker macro, just pick any canonical sticker and repeat...

Hi Ilia, Regarding the use of the word "face"... It's true that "face" is't great terminology because it could reasonably be understood to mean a 2d slab of...

Well I guess I'll announce this for myself this time. I've just uploaded my revised solution to the 4^4. This solve was 1741 moves, which is 27 moves less than...
Whoops. I guess I uploaded that file too early :) I've just uploaded my new solution to the 4^4. This solution is 1714 twists, which is 54 twists shorter than...
Well, MC4D says that your new solution has 1712 moves and not the 1714 you claimed so I updated the HOF with the shorter number. Good work Noel. (And good luck...
Hey I'm really on a roll today! Well I just uploaded my solution to the 2^4 which used 128 twists. (only 6 less than the previous record) On a whim, I tried my...
FYI, I added a reference to David Vanderschel's MC3D program to the main page today. In the process, I got to musing about the 2D analog which, while rather...
I think that I've worked out the full state graph for the 2D puzzle. It appears to have 8 unique states connected like this (best viewed in a fixed width...
On Monday, August 21, "Melinda Green" ... The 2-puzzle has 4 corner 2-cubies - all distinct. A twist swaps a pair of them. Three such swaps will also swap...
Hey there again, I just finnished altering my 5^4 solution with my new method. I didn't reduce the record by as much as I thought. However, it is important to ...
Hello! I'm regaining my shortest in 2^4. Sorry it took so long but I was in mountains :) Now solution has 120 moves. I've beaten Noel's record olny for 8 moves...
Hello! You probably will be astonished (just like I'm) but I made Shortest Checkerboard on 4^4! I really thought that 20 twists were physical limit! But I was...
Hello Remi, Yes, I am very surprised and amazed. I've updated the HOF giving you still one more record giving you a grand total of 8! Note that this one is...
Dear Cubists, Don and I have created a version of MC4D that projects a shadow of the puzzle onto a ground plane. I've just now uploaded the result. The shadows...
