Ouch! Guess that’s my record thoroughly demolished. Congratulations for such an amazing solve! You certainly deserve to hold that record for a good long while, and I don’t see anyone breaking it any time soon. I will be trying to claim my record back one day, but I’m not sure I can manage it now! Congrats again Andrey,

Matt

P.S. Slightly off topic, I’ve been a little too busy recently to polish of my 3^4 solve, but I have some free time today. Let’s just hope Andrey here doesn’t try and take the record off me though, or there is probably little point in me trying!

Algorithm was almost the same as I used in 3^4: first I build 4x1x1x1 columns (in "scrambled" order), then extend them to 5x1x1x1 and at last solve the remaining 5^3 puzzle. There was no unexpected "parity problems", but in general it was difficult, especially the first stage - sometimes it took 30 minutes to select cubes and their positions for the next step and to make 10-15 twists )))
