Hello all!
(I have the worst english ever, forgive me that:-)
So I was really surprised few weeks ago, when I saw my name in the Hall of =
Shortest with my 490 twist solution. I really appreciate this, and I want t=
o say "Thank You" in a decent way. After more than 5 years, I just had to t=
ry it again, and this led to my new personal best: 345 twists! I uploaded m=
y log file just now.
"Rest of the mankind > 500" - sounds truly amazing! So I came up with the i=
dea that I can do better if I can improve my general startegy using the lay=
er by layer method. My goal was keeping the average number of twists requir=
ed to solve one piece under 3,5 before starting the last layer. I actually =
succeed in this.
Well, I got 345 twists in the end, and I dont think I could do any better i=
n a while... Maybe if I had more time to spend to invent new 3 and 4 colour=
sequences, but I'm happy now with the progress on the first 46 pieces (it =
took only 163 twists).
(Note that I'm not a mathematician, I'm a 27 yrs old jurist and working in =
the hungarian revenue office. So I cant really explain my method in mathema=
tical terms, don't even try to ask me to do that:)
All i can say: "Have a nice twist!"
Andrew
(P.S.: Damn, I still can't belive Matthew Sheerin's 251 twists...)
