Hello! I've been playing with the MC4D again recently, and was wondering how to use the twist counting Perl script written by Jay Birkenbilt. I do have a...
... On my Linux system, I just say perl count_moves.pl logfile where logfile is the full (or relative) path to the logfile. You may have to specify a full...
A new solution of the 3^4 MagicCube4D, solved in 467 twists, has been uploaded to the "Files" section of this Yahoo group. This beats the existing record for...
Sweet. Looks like it is time to dust of my MagicCube4d and try to resuscitate some long-unused neural pathways in my brain. Whether I can or not, I will at...
... I tend to agree that the starting point is not so important. I think the order in which sections of the puzzle are solved probably has a greater impact...
hello friends, yes, i'm definitely here and have intended to get to this. i tried just now but can't access the log file in order to link to it. i'll do that ...
... For what it's worth, it's immaterial to me. I did it for fun and practice, not to be on the hall of fame. Do whatever you think is right. :-) --Jay...

I just uploaded my next entry for the ongoing shortest solution competition. It totaled 334 twists. I looked at Matthew’s 16 move algorithm for a bit to try...
*blink blink* Yowza! That was fast. :) Guess I'll have to take another crack at this again now, to see if I can hold that spot long enough to get it...
Still working on putting my thoughts into order re: avoiding situations with single pieces that have their orientations flipped, but I've at least had a chance...
friends, i've finally updated the HOF with your latest data. sorry for the delay! sorry especially to matt who's short-lived world record has now never been...
hi! I share you my two 4-color series with 16 and 20 twists. I hope they will be used to find a new shortest solution. {R15L (face,piece,direction) T11L ...
dear friend, please excuse the form letter. i just wanted to send a quick note to urge you to vote for kerry/edwards this tuesday, or sooner if possible. if...
I was sort of hoping Bush would get re-elected so that things can finally get bad enough to justify a gory revolution. Why slow down the long, tortuous road to...
jesse, i doubt you really want a gory revolution and i'm sure there wouldn't be one if bush is reelected. regardless, if you don't vote, you forfeit your right...

I am wondering if anyone can provide the reference for a way of presenting 3D Rubik's in 2D by regarding it as an empty box and displaying the view looking...
Two Java applets come to mind. I wrote the first one: http://www.puzzlingaddiction.com/Cube/applet/ http://www.geocities.com/jaapsch/puzzles/cubie.htm...
... I had not found those. The second one has some the more impressive elaborations I have seen in any of the Rubik's Cube simulators. David's comes closest...
On the MagicCube4D home page, the links for Nate and his Hyper Cube program no longer work. I had encountered and tried Nate's program about the same time I ...
... OK. Thanks Melinda. So that problem is solved now. I am embarrassed that I did not do yet another search before I posted my query. I find him now with...
I've solved the 2^4 (920 moves)...Why there is no hall of fame of 2^4?;) (I can do better;) <- or I hope I can;). The 2^4 is not so easy... Where can I find...
hello remigiusz, i'm not keeping track of 2^4 solutions since every 3^4 solver is my definition also a 2^4 solver. i will however maintain a record of the...
