Monster Kody Ice Cube

[Stefanie Mordaunt]

Thispage is devoted to documenting the milestone achievements by all the brilliant hypercubists. The most important 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 lists the first 500 known solvers along with 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 to do with a bit of effort, having even been solved by 12 year olds Raymond Zhao and Callum Moseley. Please email your questions and especially your solution log files. Note: I have stopped recording 34 solutions after the first 500. I will still maintain all the other puzzle HOFs on this site, plus 44 and 54 solutions by people among the first 500 34 solvers. Solvers after 500 can still send their log files which I will keep even though I don't currently plan to publish them. Those solvers can still self-record their solutions in the Superliminal wiki linked below. We also have a 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.

What is the best way to organize a kids playroom? What storage solutions actually work for playrooms? Well, I am here to tell you that it is an evolving space and changes/shifts are necessary as your children age. While our playroom has transformed over the years, probably every 6 months it changes in a big way, there are a few tried and true items that are BEST for playrooms IMO.

First up, the cubes! I had cubes when I was in college, post grad life and early marriage. Cubes are a great and very inexpensive way to create storage solutions. This applies to playrooms too! When my boys were younger, we placed books, large trucks, stuffed animals, etc. on the shelves. Today, we have bins filled with hot wheels, monster trucks, crafts and legos. Cubes are great as they evolve with the children and the space, they are very cost effective and durable.
