I have noticed that there's 157ish recorded people who have solved the 3^4.=
I know that solving the megaminx (the 3d version of the 120 cell) is virtu=
ally the same as solving the 3^3. I don't see how the 120 cell could possib=
ly do anything that the 3^4 can't as far as piece placement and orientation=
. So you could apply Roice's solution to the 3^4 to the 120 cell, though th=
ere's only a half dozen recorded people to solve the behemoth of a puzzle.
So I'd like to know, how long did it take these people to solve the 120 cel=
l?
For me it was about 60-72 hours of pure time (almost the same time as for 3=
^7) - and it was with active usage of macros and automatic undo of setup se=
quences. Calendar time of solve - about two months.
Solving without macros is possible (layer by layer). But you should compl=
etely understand geometry of 120-cell (to know what twists are safe at the =
current moment). I haven't try it, solved only 4 cells of 120 by that metho=
