Submission + - 4D analogue of Megaminx Puzzle (gravitation3d.com)

4D and
5D Rubik's cubes (past
Slashdot posts are
here and
here)
have now developed a free
working 4 dimensional software analogue of the
Megaminx puzzle. Composed of
120 dodecahedral cells, the
underlying structure is arguably the most beautiful of 4D geometrical shapes,
with amazing symmetries and no analogue in dimensions higher than 4.
Though some have already begun working on solutions for this "Hyperminx", it has
yet to be solved by anyone. Also, when it comes to
number of positions, it dwarfs the previous puzzles by many thousands of
orders of magnitude!!"
