MagicCube4D Hall of Fame
This page is devoted to documenting the milestone achievements by all the brilliant 4D cubists. There are several categories of milestones that deserve proper recognition. Each category tends to have two variations: First person to reach that milestone, and the person with thrtest no-macro solution to it. Macros allow the user to define sets of moves that can be automatically replayed. They remove much of the tedium involved in solving these sorts of puzzles. Using macros that you develop is not cheating, but milestones achieved using them should not be compared with ones that don't.
The most important milestone category is clearly
that of solving a fully scrambled 4D cube. Only a few people in the
world have ever achieved that goal and they clearly deserve much
applause. Don Hatch, one of the authors, solved the full 4D cube in or
around
1988. We thought that to have been the first time the 4D cube has ever
been solved though in 2010 Andrey Astrelin came forward to claim to
have solved his own implementation the previous year! He never kept his
original code but reimplemented his entire puzzle
just for us and all in an astounding 129 lines of C code! Amazing.
This page will continue to list all known solvers
along with all
other significant achievements. Note that although record holders in
"Firsts" categories will hold their records forever, records in
"Shortest" categories are always at risk of being broken. Names and
links to shortest log files will be updated as those records are broken.
We hope these lists will grow and we encourage you
to attempt to join this elite group. It is quite possible with a bit of
effort, having even solved by the 12 year old Raymond Zhao. Please email us with any
questions and especially with your solution log files. We also have a Yahoo mailing
list you can join but don't think you must solve it before getting
into the discussion. everyone with an interest in the subject is
welcome.
Also as mentioned on the main 4D page, Roice Nelson wrote a 5D version of this puzzle. Please be sure to see his 5D Hall-Of-Insanity for the completely certifiable solvers of this monster. Also, you can find records for all of the many puzzles other than the cube that MC4D supports on the Superliminal wiki. RubiksSolver.com maintains a list of the current world record solutions that highlights the most important 4D solutions among the records for 3D cubes, mainly speed-solving.
