Hi all,

As a quality check, we would like to verify that all the sticker/cubie
counts produced by the puzzle builder are correct. I wasn't going to go
into details, but it could be possible that some of these are off for the
even-sided puzzles. (If they are incorrect, don't worry, it won't be a
problem if you start working on any solutions - this potential issue
wouldn't affect the log file output.) I was going to try to do this
verification on my own until I had the thought that some of you might
consider this a fun problem set.

So, I just uploaded a file to the
groupwhich
has the counts output by the builder for every puzzle officially
supported by the beta. One thing about the counts in this file - the cubie
counts don't include 0C pieces, so really I am looking for the total of all
1C + 2C + 3C + 4C pieces, as well as the total of all stickers. Feel free
to break it down how you like though. Maybe we can throw the results of all
these counts into a page on the wiki or something.

I've already verified the {4,3,3} hypercube counts myself using previous
calculations I've
done, but would love help on any of the others. Let me know if you'd like
to take some on, or just have at it!

Thanks,
Roice
