That is a beautiful puzzle! Would you like to tell us why it is special
for you?

For me the question is easy. Solving the 3^4 was very special for me.
Even with Roice's solution and help from the list, it was a proud
achievement for me to finally solve my own puzzle after so many years
and get in the list of the first 100 solvers.

There is another question about "the favorite puzzle": what
puzzle were you the most proud to solve? For me answer is
strange: now it's 5-layer Klein Quadric (aka {7,3} 24 color
F0.4:0:1 F0.8:0:1). Somehow for me it's above multidimensional
cubes and 5D simplex.

3^5 is the puzzle I'm most proud to have solved. The few months in 2006
when our group initially focused on this puzzle was a fun experience, and
solving was special because we had to overcome hurdles to create a working
puzzle in the first place. Solving did become tedious, but it felt great
to finish at the end.

Based on Andrey's choice, it sounds like configuring more "Professor"
versions of puzzles in MagicTile would be good.

Also, congrats Andrey on your 120Z solution! I'm sure difficulty is not
the only consideration, but does solving 120C change your answer?

Cheers,
Roice

P.S. Thanks Ed for the link about the Hamiltonian circuit through the
Rubik's Cube group. I hadn't seen that.

That one is my favorite as well. I had a blast solving that one! It doesn't
require much more than the 5x5x5 cube as far as solving goes, but it was so
much fun to do.
