Hi all,

I wanted solve a **BIG** MagicTile puzzle. For this I tackled a puzzle whic=
h Michael Gottlieb hasn't yet solved.
I have chosen MT_hyp_{4,7}_42_R10-9_e100 with 42 colors and 714 pieces. I n=
ame them faces, edgefaces, cornerfaces, edges and corners.
My solves has 172'914 moves.

I did a first try with 90'000 moves (14 days elapsed time) and was stopped =
with a difficult parity situation. See illustration.=20



Can anyone of you find a sequence to solve this parity?

I simply restarted a second try and was lucky enough to not encounter the p=
arity again. This puzzle is not only lengthy but is also very interesting (=
with crossing orbits).
My elapsed time for the sucessfull try was 18 days.

By the way: during this month the 42 MT colors got very familiar to me. Whi=
te, blue, green, ... but also darkGold, minth, cadet, cornblue, chocolate,=
tan, khaki, teal, ...

Happy puzzling!

Ed
