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 )))
