       ANNOUNCEMENT: FORUM STANDARDS
       By: Asher Hurowitz Date: December 20, 2017, 3:20 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Hello!
       I was inspired in part to create this forum by the twistypuzzles
       forum, a forum for fans of Rubik's Cube, another interest of
       mine. What intrigued me about their forum was the high standard
       that they held their members to in terms of ethics and post
       quality that is unfortunately rare on these interwebs. As a
       person who has participated in and observed forums before, I am
       going to be implementing SOME of those rules here, but I am sure
       that like the mature carbon-based life forms we are that most of
       this will be obvious to you.
       Any form of spam or unnecessary commendation or posts such as a
       wall of colons that is often seen on other forum sites is
       prohibited. I am talking about AN EXTREMELY EXAGGERATED version
       of this, such as a million smiley faces, and YOUR QUICK ONE
       SENTENCE COMMENTS ARE WELCOME. Repeated spam in this category
       could result in warnings and suspension from the forum for a
       period of time.
       Additionally ANY form of hate speech is strictly prohibited and
       will result in an immediate permanent ban from this site.
       Please also post things within a relevant subforum, if one does
       not exist just contact me and I will be happy to add one!
       Thanks!
       Asher Hurowitz

       It is interesting that you mention that. I wrote a 4x4x4 and
       5x5x5 Rubik's Cube Solver (stage solving and Brute Force
       solving). You can see two of my 14-move algs on the 4x4x4 Parity
       Wiki page.
       It is under "Checkerboard" from the "In Opposite Dedges"
       section:
  HTML https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/4x4x4_Parity_Algorithms
       And here is the alg in the block turn metric:
  HTML https://alg.cubing.net/?puzzle=4x4x4&type=alg&alg=r2_U2_2R-_e2_2R_e2_2R-_U2_r2
       I created a forum for cube solvers, and originally I had the
       only 5x5x5 solver. Now there are at least 4 of us who have
       programs to solve cubes, some even larger than 5x5x5. So if you
       want to join and post questions to programmers, here is that
       link:
  HTML http://cubesolvingprograms.freeforums.net/
       And here is my massively parallel 5x5x5 program, solving a tough
       position with no prior algorithm ever!

       Cool! I checked out your forum and will be joining soon! Good to
       see another cuber!
       I dare you to create a program that solves the YOTTAMINX!   :o

       Also, the 33x33x33 cube was just created! Look it up!

       Well I do have a 13x13x13 frame with an inscribed 11x11x11 cube.

       You do realize my solving rate was 7.7 Quadrillion nodes per
       second, right?
       :)
       It did use an odd technique early on. It would solve the "cross"
       (middle edges and t-centers) first. Look at this solution:
