I was asked by J.Bailey to post explanation of the puzzle which we discussed few weeks ago. ... From: John Bailey To: Remigiusz Durka Sent: Saturday, August...
Hello! It's been a while when I was breaking any records. I've come back with shortest in 4x4x4x4. Standard Roice solution. Stage by stage: centers, putting...
Hey, congratulations! That's beyond amazing to have solved a 5D cube. I haven't even solved the 4D version! You did right by sending your log file to Roice and...
Melinda, Thank-you very much for your kind words of support: these really make all the difference for me in these crazy undertakings :) Certainly there are...
To anyone contemplating an assault on the 5-D cubes, these following points may be useful. Firstly, the one thing you will need is patience (and/or an ...
Great job Mark. Welcome on the board. So... There is now 9 people who managed with 5D cube. Nice! Lately I was joking with Michal Wizner that there should be...
Mark, When I spoke about still-higher peaks I was still talking about the metaphoric types. Most specifically, there are still the 5^4 and the seductively...
Hi RemiQ, Thank-you for your comments, although (unless I'm missing something!) I count now 10 names on the Hall of Insanity list for the 3^5 solution. Also,...
Hi Mark, That was it, thanks! It is now posted for all to enjoy. I don't know if you opened your log with a text editor like notepad, but if not, you might ...
Yeah, I know. 10 people :). You people coming and coming. faster Than I can count :P Soon in every village there will be someone who solved 3^5 :P I also...
Melinda, I too had the peaks in mind metaphorically. After all, if one likens the 3^5 to Everest, one needs other names to invoke for the 4^5 and 5^5, or n^6...
Hello! Last time I've tried to do a little summary of history of the shortest concerning all cubes. In case of 3^4 I had big problems with geting the...
I can readily believe that possible interfaces for 6 (and upward) dimensional simulations would be workable, based on the 4-D paradigm along with the ability...
Mark, Do you have a feeling for how god's algorithm works for even the 3D cube? I'm not sure that is possible even for the 2^3. That's because I view god's...
Wow, that's pretty interesting. Having never solved a higher-than-3D cube, and being a programmer, myself, it makes me want to try to write my own program....
Remi, Can't you just use the view scale slider to adjusts the size of the puzzle? If your screen is wider than it is high the space taken by the control panel...
For those of you who have also been curious where those 8th "face" facets disappear to when they get cycled outward(?), this post is open to your thoughts. I...
For those of you who have also been curious where those 8th "face" facets disappear to when they get cycled outward(?), this post is open to your thoughts. I...
... Alex, you are not the first to raise this issue. Myself and others have raised it in the past and we got the same arguments against attempts to render the ...
I just had a couple minor comments. First is that while I recognize this should be considered a matter of personal preference (and my preference is therefore...
Melinda, Thank-you for your (as always) thought-provoking comments. To be honest don't feel I have any handle on God's algorithm in 3 (or more) dimensions (I...
... Note that what I advocated was an _option_ for displaying the Out face shifted to the side. I was not trying to impose my preference on everyone. But I ...
Fair enough, it wouldn't hurt to have the "box with lid off" option (and the additional option Alex suggested with altered sticker-shrink and face-grow for the...
... Very well said, Roice. Einstein was talking about the art of modeling and in this I agree completely. I'm also trying to balance my own sense of modeling...
Hello all! On Polish RubikChampionships I've met some people who were really enthusiastic with solving hypercubes and after few days The Hall of Fame and...
Continuation... I've decided to do everything in classic way but using: 4 Move Edge (3C) Sequence: Top 6 Left Front 5 Left Top 6 Right Front 6 Right 8 Move...
Remi, Congratulations on taking the most coveted shortest prize of all. If you take one more (the 5^4), you will have a grand slam! That was a great story you...
I've been talking with Remi some off the group list, but let me take the chance to congratulate him here too. Great job! The writeup was very entertaining...
