Believe it or not, MagicCube5D is solvable! The solvers list is short, but we hope it will grow, so give it a shot and send us your log file when you make it.

MagicCube4D

MagicCube5D is based on many of the concepts and ideas from MagicCube4D. You wouldn't necessarily have to solve that puzzle first, but it sure would help! Also, the 4D Cubing Group has had much discussion about MC5D. Joining and/or searching it is a good way to get further information about this puzzle. MagicCube3D is another good way to try to understand all this by dimensional analogy.

If you port MagicCube5D, it would be nice to keep it connected to the original, whether that is by publishing it on our site (with due credit for effort of course!) or by us linking to you, so keep us posted :)
