lol i turn to roice, but im sure hes busy too! Andras Ecseki, what do u mean
exactly when you say layer by layer method? Do you mean 1c pieces first then
2c pieces then 3c ect? or first layer then second then third from top to
bottom? I’m working on this cube, but im too busy with school to continue.
Although, I’m very curious as to how people tackle problems. Some ways, as
we all may know, are more efficient than others. I like to read about the
process of solving different problems, and finding the most logical. so,
please share lol :)

ps wouldn’t it be nice to have shirts? like i donno a picture of the cube or
hall of fame shirt lol. The first thing everyone thinks about is… "it
would be nice if i had time and energy to do it, but i don’t lol." nice poem
btw
