Hello everyone, my name is Michael Kokosenski, number 60 on the list
to solve the MC4d. I'm 18, living in Southern California, and I'm
going to Stanford in the fall to begin undergrad studies in either
mathematics or computer science.
Well, theres my short introduction, and hope to hear more about the group.

Maybe it's sort of a combinatorial puzzle built on a 2^4 but is some
drastically reduced subset of anything that could reasonable be called a
Rubik analog? Whatever it is, it seems safe to guess that it won't match
any reasonable definition of one. I recommend that someone, probably
Norbert, contact the speedcubing.com people and ask them to remove the
records reported that used N-teract-4.
