Hello!

It's been a while when I was breaking any records. I've come back with shor=
test in 4x4x4x4. Standard Roice solution. Stage by stage: centers, putting=
2C in pairs, next putting pieces on good places, next 3C (putting in pairs=
and on good spot at the same time) and 4C.


I've needed:

87 twists for (1C)
413 twists for (2C)
446 twists for (3C)
184 twists for (4C)

TOTAL: 1130


I think there is still some potential with 4C and 3C (I should use 4 twists=
insted 8, just like Roice in his shortest 3^4). Maybe I will come back to =
this log soon and change it :-)


Btw. I've gathered some data from the web page and from yahoo group. (Exept=
3^4 it's showing exactly history of the shortest). History of 3^4 it's inc=
omplete. It was before I came so you have better knowledge about it. Please=
correct this adding some results. (I also added my result from month ago -=
> 512). Melinda mentioned adding dates to this results. I think It could be=
added to the superliminal page as the subpage concenrning development:


History of the Shortests:

Shortest 2x2x2x2:

588 Jay
136 RemiQ
128 Noel
120 RemiQ
107 Kate
106 RemiQ
103 Kate
102 RemiQ
96 Kate
82 RemiQ

Shortest 3x3x3x3:

495 Roice
467 Mat Young
334 Roice

Shortest 4x4x4x4:

2581 Roice
2196 RemiQ
1862 Noel
1768 RemiQ
1712 Noel

Shortest 5x5x5x5:
=20
8481 Eric
4663 RemiQ
4013 Noel
3413 Noel
3271 Noel
=20


I know that it would be extra work for holding on the page for example five=
shortest entries for every cube but I would be cool for newcomers who also=
want to do something and get their names in hall of fame. They have to dea=
l with the last result which is really hard to beat (Damn 334 twists in 3x3=
x3x3 :-) or checkboards which are probably physical limit.=20

Of course we have to choose if we want to show history or just best achivem=
ents each person (for example in 5^4 there is history of the shortest but =
during this history there was entries with 7000 twists after mine 4663... I=
would like to have both. Ok, I'm opened for discussion...=20


All the best,

RemiQ
