Hi Melinda,
I just sent you the $99. I tried to do the "Friends and Family" option, but I don’t think myaccount was set up for that until after I made the payment. Sorry about that. I don’t usePayPal often.
Peace and Success,
Ed

Aw, gee thanks, Ed. I think you’re awesome too!
I'll still sell to list members for $99 including shipping, and I'll<br>
keep it up for as long as I can. You and everyone else on the list<br>
can just order through PayPal here. In the<br>
notes, please include:
<br> Your name and address in the notes with the way you would like<br>
it labeled. <br> Whether you prefer it to be signed & numbered or just<br>
clean. <br> Optionally include a phone number for the shipper.
I'd also appreciate it if you use the friends-and-family option so<br>
that I'll get the full amount, but that will give up some buyer<br>
protections, so that's entirely your choice. Sometimes we can ship<br>
immediately. Other times it can take 2-6 weeks.
Happy puzzling!

Hello Melinda,
I’ve been loosely following the discussion and developments
of the physical 2x2x2x2.
I’m interested in acquiring one pre-fabricated. It looks
like it
will take too much time for me to build one myself.
What’s the price?
(You’re amazing, by the way!)

Hello Marc,
Good point about rule sets. Solution notes<br>
makes sense but I don't want to tarnish<br>
anyone's accomplishment. I decided to be much<br>
more liberal about this than I am for MC4D,<br>
especially for past solutions. In those cases<br>
I'm pretty much just deciding whether the<br>
person appears to have demonstrated the<br>
ability to solve the puzzle. I encourage those<br>
people to produce a new or updated video using<br>
the canonical set but I don't want to require<br>
that.
I really want to add your name to the list<br>
too. We're now up to 6, so if you want to get<br>
in the first 10, you should probably get<br>
moving! :-)
Happy puzzling!

Hi, Melinda,
Good idea to start the HOF list. It's worth<br>
noting that there are a variety of rule sets,<br>
and associated details, being used in the<br>
first four solutions on the list (I'm not<br>
familiar with the 5th, Joseph's).
Because our rule sets are still in flux, and<br>
because I think they should STAY in flux for<br>
quite a while ... I suggest adding a "notes"<br>
field to the HOF list, to describe what kind<br>
of solution it was.
Here are the notes I'd personally attach to<br>
the first four solutions on the HOF list.
Bob's: strict rules, well described, no video
Zander's: parity violating 4-cycles used,<br>
full video
Luna's: strict rules, full video
Chris's: poor scramble, semi-strict rules,<br>
4-cycle shortcuts used with parity correction,<br>
has video
Cheers
Marc

Just a quick note to let you know that
I’ve created a HOF for the
physical 2^4. All feedback
welcome. If any of you besides Zander
and Luna have solved it, I’d love to add
you to the list. We’re currently up to
solver #5, so if you want to get
yourself into the first 10, it would be
good to do that soon as we’ve already
shipped over 30 puzzles! The
Can-Chris-Solve videos resulted in at
least 10 sales, and he plans to launch a
final video on Saturday in which he
fixes his pop and properly finishes his
solve.
