3^4 Method Development Progress

[Blobinati Cuber]

Hi Everyone! There has been some major method development going on in the Hypercubers Discord Server. If anyone hasn't joined yet, here's the link: https://discord.gg/ZnSVTzJ6uU

We've slowly started to develop a Roux method for the 3^4. We know people have done solves with Roux before, but we're trying to make it better now.

I didn't just want to call this method Roux, because that would be boring. So I've decided to call it Octachoroux. It's just combining octachoron (which is another name for a tesseract) with Roux.

Steps:

Build a 1x2x3x3 block at DL

Build another 1x2x3x3 block on the other side of the cube

Solve the corners of the U cell. Called CMLC for short

Solve the last 30 pieces using any variant you like.

So far, there are 3 variants to solve L30P

Classic:

Solve all the 2c pieces

Solve 2 opposite edges of the D cell

Orient all edges

Solve 2 layers of edges on the U cell (8 edges total)

Reduce to Roux LSE by correcting the 4d orientations

Solve Roux LSE using RKT variants of M and U moves

Luna's Variant: (Exact analogy of Roux)

Orient the 2c and 3c pieces

Solve the Left and Right sides

Permute the M-slice (which is the same as permuting a 3^3)

Tetrian22's Variant:

Orient all pieces

Sort U/D colours into U/D cells

?Freestyle the rest?

Classic Variant

Luna's Variant

Once we have things more finalized, I'll add the method to this page on the wiki :)

Take care everyone, Rowan

Great stuff! Maybe when the dust settles we should hold a speedsolving competition to see whose method is fastest.

Best,

A speedsolving competition? Sounds exciting!
