24cell FT
After having sucessfully finished the 96 2-colored face centers I’m tackling the 96 3-colored edges. With my 3-cycle for edges (keeping the face centers) I brought home two edges and they where not mirrored by chance. Then the three following edges arrived mirrored at home!
By chance I discovered how to turn edges on place (my pair flipping macro for face centers executed three times yields a turn of three edges on place). But we must distinguish between turning (c1,c2,c3) and mirroring (c1)(c2,c3) in cycle notation. c1,c2and c3 are the three colors of an edge. Is that right (Nan, Andrey)? It is very difficult to imaging a walk so that an edge returns mirrored at home. I need such a walk to construct a mirroring macro for edges. Who wants help me?

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).
