Congrats!

I can’t believe you solved that, even if it wasn’t the full 600 color one. Good luck with full color one if your willing to take the challenge. I think I’ll just stick to regular speedsolving and hyper puzzle solving.

Once again, amazing work!
Brandon.

In terms of number of pieces it sounds easier than the 120-cell. But visually this puzzle is, I would say, more complicated. Because in the 120-cell, you basically see 120 things, whereas here you see 600 things. Because of this difference, I’m taking a different approach of moving the pieces around. This method is working well so far.
