Four-Dimensional Rubik's Cube Craziness

roice writes "Rubik's junkies and puzzlers will be interested in this software rendered four-dimensional analog of Rubik's Cube. With over 1.75E120 possible combinations, it's a mind bender. Free versions are available for both Windows and Linux, and they even publish their source code for download. Solving it will get your name listed in their Hall Of Fame, and there is also a running competition for the most efficient solution. To help get you started, you can check out a solution algorithm based on techniques used to solve the popular three-dimensional version."

    i like to sniff my feces after EVERY bowel movement. i enjoy looking back at it and noting the color, shape, size, and texture of the turds. Why do some turds float up at the top while others sink to the bottom? i like to split turds too with my piss. i wish i could shrink myself to the size of a pinworm and wiggle my way inside one of the turds and wait until someone flushes it, while i nibble on the poop. following the flush i would sail down to the sewer and meet other pinworms and have a pinworm party!

    i wish.
