Dear Cubists,

I'm sure you'll all be interested to know that more than 100 people have
now solved the full 4D cube! I've attached a chart showing the number of
new solvers by year and you'll see that the hall-of-fame is growing at a
lively rate. The 25 new solvers in 2008 represent 1/4 of all new
solvers. I think the attachment will be sent but not archived, so if you
are reading this in the archive, here is the URL I used to generate the
chart
.
Readers interested in web development and data representation might like
to look at that URL and check out the very cool Google Chart API
to learn how to generate your own
charts.

There are now over 120 list subscribers receiving these mailing list
messages without bouncing, making this quite a successful group. There
have been nearly 11,000 page views for the main cube page in the last
month. Google and Wikipedia are great sources of referring traffic, but
it appears that StumbleUpon.com is our
greatest single source of visitors. I recently installed their Firefox
plug-in and have
discovered a lot of fun new content that way. I encourage you to try it
out and of course give your thumbs-up vote to the main MC4D page
in order to help spread the word
about our favorite puzzle. Please also add links to our site on any
appropriate web sites that you might be involved with. Note that the
easiest way to do that is to simply add the address and a description to
blog posts or blog comments and let Google do the rest.

The final bit of news is that Roice has recently updated his solution
by adding
clarifications, corrections, and by using his mad web skills to greatly
improve the presentation and usability of this wonderful resource.

Thanks Roice and congratulations to all new solvers!
-Melinda
