I’m still solving with great pleasure the "24cell FT". I have solved 96 2C face centers, 96 3C edges and 96 2C face sides sofar and I’m approaching the 50% of the puzzle. My move count is 390’000 and the elapsed time 42h45. Nan has reached 54’000 moves and 9h25 for the whole. And Andrey is even better. I will use estimated 1 Mio moves to finish. I think that Nan and Andrey must use external computer program power and advise or do extremely sophisticated setup’s. Is that so?

This is a little bit frustrating but not enough to stop my efforts. Now I tackle the 96 3C edges. I have already a 3 cycle. The same 3 cycle executed 3 times gives a 3 cycle for the 2C face-sides.

Most of his moves are dedicated to place the 2 colored face-corner elements different from the face elements (13’000 to 54’000).
