Hi everyone,

Yesterday I was inspired to play with the MC5D software and today I solved
the 2^5. I started with familiarizing myself with the moves (although this
proceeded throughout the whole solve) and constructing two macros: one for
permuting three pieces (analogous to an A-perm on a 3^3) and one for
orienting two pieces (similar to an OLL headlights-case). During the
solving, I realized that it's possible to twist (3-cycle of stickers) just
a single corner but at the beginning, I didn't know that so I had to do
with a two-twist-macro.

After that, I used my intuition and those two macros to solve the puzzle
layer by layer. In the beginning, I had trouble with recognition and
finding pieces. Surprisingly, this seemed to become easier and easier the
more of the puzzle I solved! I've just finished after about 8 hours (I
don't believe I have an entry in the Hall of Insanity just yet). It was a
great experience.

All the best,
Joel

Congratulations, Joel.

I'm t=
rying to delve into MC5D myself, but am perpetually distracted. Your email =
is inspiring.

Peace and Success,
