Hello everyone. This is not the new MC7D that Andrey is bringing to life (=
especially since after several hours of war against my computer I still can=
't run it), but a challenge involving the standard software here. I came u=
p with the idea a few days ago, and had a go today.
So what is the idea? Here's a walkthrough - it's a more fun way to explain=
it :) :
1. Open MC4D.
2. Select a puzzle, ideally a hypercube, and the smaller the better. I use=
d the 2x2x2x2 and I think it is ideal, but feel free to experiment.
3. Scramble the puzzle.
4. Look at the pretty colours. Admire the pretty colours for a while. Adm=
ire some more.
5. Edit the face colours. Make all faces the same colour (black is fitting=
, I chose a dark grey). To make the changes take effect, you may have to s=
ave the scramble then load it.
6. Perform lots of twists. Aim for the solved state.
7. When happy that step 6 is complete, change face colours back to normal.
8. Look to see if the puzzle is solved.
9. If not solved, repeat from step 2, otherwise ...
Congratulations! You have just blindsolved a 4D puzzle. You are also insa=
ne.
I was close, I was left with 2 pieces flipped in place (I can upload a scre=
enshot of my result if wanted). I will try again soon. Good luck to anyon=
e who wants to give this a try!!

PS. While I remember, does anyone have any preferences for colour scheme wh=
en solving? I know I'm not keen on the default and have been tinkering for=
a while, and I think I'm finally happy with my current choice:
255,0,255 255,100,0 255,220,0 0,0,255 0,255,0 255,255,255 230,0,0 112,41,99
