Hello Mannessah Kani,

A seven second 3^3 solve is incredible! To do that, I'm guessing you must b=
e involved in some speedsolving communities, right? I'll be curious to hear=
how they react when you describe your latest accomplishment. Hopefully you=
can convince some of them to try the 4D cube.

I had never heard of osu! until that community staked out a rather large ar=
ea of reddit's r/place April Fools stunt. For those who don't know, it was =
an event that lasted 3 days in which the community painted a shared 1000x10=
00 image in which everyone was allowed to only color one pixel every 5 minu=
tes. Your area at the bottom center was one of the most bitter fights, so y=
ou must have a very passionate community. Here is a timelapse video of the =
whole thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DRCAsY8kjE3w Overall it was a=
giant mess so I wouldn't call it art but it was definitely a fascinating s=
ocial experiment. I placed about 2 pixels myself.

Matt Parker's video is excellent. It may have been mentioned here before, b=
ut here it is for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D1wAaI_6b9JE

Happy puzzling!

Hello Mannessah Kani,



A seven second 3^3 solve is incredible! To do that, I'm guessing
you must be involved in some speedsolving communities, right? I'll
be curious to hear how they react when you describe your latest
accomplishment. Hopefully you can convince some of them to try the
4D cube.



I had never heard of osu! until that community staked out a rather
large area of reddit's r/place April Fools stunt. For those who
don't know, it was an event that lasted 3 days in which the
community painted a shared 1000x1000 image in which everyone was
allowed to only color one pixel every 5 minutes. Your area at the
bottom center was one of the most bitter fights, so you must have
a very passionate community. Here is a timelapse video of the
whole thing: outube.com/watch?v=3DRCAsY8kjE3w">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DRCAsY8k=

it was a giant mess so I wouldn't call it art but it was

My name is Mannessah Kani, I am 14 years old. I live in
Melbourne, Australia and am home schooled.

I speedcube (pb for 3^3 is 7.08), play osu! and Tetris.=C2=A0

I first heard about MC4D from a talk by Matt Parker.

I started solving by just doing one piece, and then two, and
then four and before I knew it I had solved the entire first two
layers, so I thought I might as well solve the rest at that
point.

As of writing this I'm attempting to solve a 4^4 and centers
and 2c pairing are surprisingly easy.

I just found out that what I used to permute 3cs of the last
cell is actually RKT and I didn't even realise it.

I'd like to get into speedsolving the 3^4 and=C2=A0 style=3D"word-spacing:normal;">I'll probably use the last cell
method described in the cfop method from the wiki and use pure
block building for the rest.

Hi Michael,

Congrats on the 3^4 solve!

Python is currently also my language of choice and we seem to watch the
same topics for videos...somehow.
Meanwhile for word and board games, I only know of crosswords and checkers
specifically, so I wonder if you meant something more specific.

As for hypercubing, what are some higher-dimensional puzzles you want to
tackle next?

Ray

Hi timebug,

I swear I used that exact method before years ago.
What's noticeable for both our solves is how long the last layer takes --
it's ridiculous.
I mean, we can use Heise for PLC, but is it worth it? I'm sure there's an
easier way.

Attached is a log file Block3.log and I'm hoping it still works...I
admittedly haven't opened MagicCube4D in so so long.

Have fun,

Ray
