bI’ve now solved all 45 of the latest batch of new puzzles. The hardest for me was Cube E0:1:0 E1:0:1 since there isn’t much room and I have a lot of trouble with Little Chop movements (but thankfully all piece types are affected by the E0:1:0 twists). Next hardest was Dodecahedron E1.05:0:0 V0:0:1 since I had to find a lot of separate algorithms and solve/track a lot of small pieces without breaking up what I had.

And Ed, great job! It looks like all the formatting in the message made it truncated though, so I can’t see all the results :( I don’t see any reason you can’t catch up with me though.

So here’s my solve statistics:
Cube E0:1:0 E1:0:1 - 810 twists
Cube F0.8:0:0 F1:0:0 F0.67:0:1 - 256 twists
Cube F0.29:0:1 F0.57:0:1 F0.86:0:1 - 527 twists
