1. Oh yeah, and how did you find out the product using the universal code?
2. After an attempt at the 4^4, I'll try the 3^4, BUT
it won't be colourful, it'll be "shadeful"!
starting from 0,0,0 to 255,255,255, with intervals of 32 !
3. Always put a space between a number and an exclamation mark unless you'r=
e stating a factorial ;^) XD

I want my name to appear as Raymond Zhao ;P
although I would like to be called deustfrr on the forums.
I'll never become fast on MC4D, so I just solve the cubes.
deustfrr means nothing, I just thought it sounded nice (doostfur) lolz
I finished solving all the centers! But I don't even know how to solve the =
faces!

Here's my experience:
Long time ago a mess=20
Now a common sight
Just solved it yesterday
After two nights
First there was the cross
So easy to do
Took just 12 moves
How was it for you?
Then there were the faces
Which made there be restrictions
Forget just one step over
Then you'd be in frustration
In the faces included the last three
They were worse than the others
But they were so easy to solve
They weren't even a bother
Now I got stuck here last time
Didn't know what to do
But this time I'll pay attention
And hopefully it'll go through
I'm talking `bout the edges
The ones with 3 colours
They took the longest
But then I went much farther
The corners were last
I still need to work hard=20
It's the last stretch
I've gone pretty far
Now there're two corners left
I solve both of them
Then the screen pops up
And I was congratulated
and check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D0xGwrjN7_9k
It's the only 4D 8-cell solve not by a computer or undo!

Congrats! It's a pretty good achievement for someone so young, it would be=
nice to have it mentioned in the HOF somewhere. Also interesting to hear =
that you speedsolve, I'm a decent speedsolver myself so I might have a chat=
with you about that outside the group (so it doesn't distract from the for=
um a little). I think Remi here is also interested, but I haven't heard mu=
ch from him about it. I've not really tried speedsolving in 4D though, and=
I'm surprisingly slow with 5D solves and progress with 3^7 is slow too. M=
aybe I just get distracted too easily! Perhaps when you're more experience=
d with these puzzles you can see what your speed is like, it would be inter=
esting to know. I plan to try it one day, not sure when though.
Also, I'm sure I can knock together a quick solution to your 4^4 problem fa=
irly easily if you haven't solved it already yourself, but I recommend you =
make the breakthrough yourself, it feels better at the end :). Also, I wou=
ldn't class it as parity, though parity can occur later, exactly how depend=
s on your solution (my solution avoided most or all of the parity, not sure=
how much of that was luck though lol).
Good luck!

actually, it was solved by me, a 12 year, 7 month, 16 day, 2 hour, 22 minut=
