Hi all,
I've just got a letter from Craig Durward about a new solve of 3^7. It to=
ok 233099 twists and 507 hours by timer :) (actually, 24 days, started Janu=
ary 1st)
Congratulations, Craig!
Andrey
Oh good lord, WHY? Seriously, I'm now to the point that I never assume
what solutions will never be achieved. I was so certain that there would
never be more than one solution of the 120 Cell but I was very wrong. If
a mountain can be climbed then someone will do it. Even if it CAN'T be
climbed, someone will do it anyway.
I like how you started January 1 and finished in the same month. I am
very impressed. I just wish I could listen to you try to explain to
non-puzzlers what you did and why!
You are probably dreaming in 7 dimension at this point. I hope that you
take a nice break and enjoy the satisfaction of your feat. Then please
come back and try some of the other incredible puzzles that puzzle
makers here have created to tempt you.
Congratulations, Craig!

Now we have:
4 solutions of 3^7
4 solutions of 3^6
1 solution of 4^6
7 solutions of 120-cell
and 1 solution of simplified 600-cell :)
I remember about solution of 6^4, and what about 7^4? There was something a=

Yeah, I solved 7^4 on 14th October 2012 with 18604 twists.

Congratulations, Craig! Is this a New Year resolution of you?
I also praise the significant others of the puzzlers, for their understandi=

Melinda, so you are asking "why"? I've been thinking about the meaning of l=
ife several times when I solve the big puzzles. And, there has been no answ=
