It's easy to print tee-shirts, coffee mugs, etc. with custom images
using services such as cafepress.com. If someone wants to create a club
logo I'd be happy to set up a public shop where individuals can buy
shirts, etc.

Regarding the recent poetry creations, I've been very happy to see these
too. If other people want to get creative, please send your
higher-dimensional puzzle poetry in reply to this message and maybe we
can even use the Yahoo group polling feature to vote on the best poem of
the year. I would then publish the winner on the MC4D site. Anything
goes from haiku to song & dance YouTube videos.

Have fun!

Even just the black background 5D puzzle picture on the top of MagicCub5D's
site on a black t-shirt would be pretty cool I would think. Wouldn't
require any art talent either. Just open up MagicCube5D, go full screen to
get good resolution, and print screen ^^. Although it's pretty colorful, s=

I'm not sure how that would affect the t-shirt cost on cafepress. I've onl=

ever put on t-shirt up on cafepress before and that was ages ago :D

Awesome, congrats on your solve, and on beating the old s=

There hasn't been=A0a Hall of Shortest for MC5D yet, though there =

=A0It's not a huge deal either way.=A0 =

Yesterday evening I've finally finished solving th=
e monster (file sent to Roice).

The log file shows 3916 moves, which means 3712 twists if we subtract the f=
irst 100 twists (scrumbled position) and the 104 rotating moves I did.
<=
br>I've been using the good old layer by layer method. The first 2 laye=
r required ca. 2000 twists. Then I "translated" my mc4d macros fo=
r the mc5d, and invented two 5c-macros (26 twist for switching three 5c pie=
ce, and 20 twist for rotating two 5c piece in their place) for the last lay=
er.




I think it's possible to break the 3000 twist limit with this metho=
d, since my macros usually switch three pieces, so one can solve two pieces=
simultaneously with them, but I made it easier for myself for the first tr=
y, and I solved only one piece at the same time.



(But there's no way I'll try this again in the near future).
>(Btw, do we have a "hall of shortest" list for mc5d...? Roice he=
ld the record with 6112 moves till now.)

Guys, id buy like 3 shirts and wear it all the time... Seriously lol.. i
hope the shirts can capture the color, depth, and beauty of these puzzles.
im thinking a dark shirt with vivid colors. scrambled cubes seams more
cooler, but i think it may look too chaotic. I agree with you cris dark
background and solved 5D cube. maybe the logo :
"In the spirit of taking things too far"
so, what do you guys think about the 4D cube on a shirt?
