Hi!

Could someone tell me what is that?=20

http://home.rochester.rr.com/jbxroads/4cube.html

I've tried and tried to see/understand how "that" is related to 2^4 but I c=
ouldn't...

Nethertheless I've managed to solve this around 30 sec. (Michal Wizner one=
sec less)

(Scramble is terrible, always the same, so I scrambled this extra) -> After=
lucky scramble I did it under 15 sec (but it doesn't count)

I don't see how this aplet earned name "A four dimensional version of Rubik=
's Cube ". There is only 4 colors, etc.

Yes, that's really really funny!;)



As remiq wrote we are able to solve this 'puzzle' using only color="#ff0000">four
algoritms that

change an 'orientation' on the West 'cubie'. We just join pieces which
are the same

colour then we move each wrong 'oriented' cubie to the West repairing
its orientation.

But the author of this aplet writes: "The corners are not
sensitive to orientation in 4-space."...

So what actually are we doing?



I feel so stupid and confused solving this puzzle in about 30sec;)



How does it work, where is the connection with 2^4, and finally what
the hell is this?;)


Theese are questions we still are looking answers for. heh



And I can't imagine how can it be compared with any other
puzzles/applets like for example MC4D

(http://speedcubing.com/records/recs_comp_2222.html).

I wrote an e-mail to Ron van Bruchem, the owner of the speedcubing.com
about this.

You also have got this link on your web page :-) even on first place!

One more thing.

Latelty I returned to solving 4^4 and I noticed that I need bigger window. =
My ask is that in the future there was option of closing tab with preferenc=
e and macros. (I compared this with older version without this tab and I wa=
s very helpful).=20

Soon you will hear me again!

I was planing to write to him (RON who is now on Holidays) asking him to ad=
d some categories (unofficial):


Fastest Solve:

-2x2x2x2 (with macros)
-3x3x3x3 (with macros)

-2x2x2x2 (without macros)
-3x3x3x3 (withou macros)

and Shortest Solutions:

-2^4
-3^4
-4^4
-5^4

(of course all by using MC4D, there are some others programs for 2^4 but no=
t so very popular)


With group of polish hypercubers we are planning few things (contest on-lin=
e and normal contest in autumn). Soon we will be holding mini on-line confe=
rence for people who wanted solve this - many people were just stuck at one=
stage -unfortunatelly in polish language). We will met Ron B. on polish op=
en championships in September and we will try to give him some kind of offi=
cial regulation of making OFFICIAL hypercube contest (he was interested in =
this).=20

Take care,

RemiQ
