Another four interesting cosets

These are the distributions of the optimal solution lengths for the cosets where the edges start at the given M-symmetric position, using the quarter turn metric. The first run took longer than the other three combined; not sure why. Only a handful of positions at length 24; none at 26 or higher. I'm currently running the coset where the edges begin in the known length-26 position. It's interesting to note that with the edges superflipped and reflected across the center, all solutions took either 18, 20, or 22 moves.

Same calculation differently?

Hi Tom,

Can you please share the code that produced the above tables? How much effort was it to produce such tables?

I would like to reproduce the same calculation so that the output is the number of positions at depths X,Y,Z,W where X is edges identity depth, Y is the edges PA depth, Z is the edges superflip depth and W is the superflip PA depth, something like:


X,Y,Z,W pos

0,12,14,18 N1
0,12,14,20 N2
0,12,14,22 N3
0,12,16,18 N4
0,12,16,20 N5
0,12,16,22 N6
:
:
:
22,22,24,22 Nn

of course the sum of Ni will be 44089920 and the list length will be :

9*6*6*3 = 972


The reason I want to do such a calculation is to see witch combination of depths is possible and what are the combinations that never occur... I am guessing for example that the combination 22,22,24,22 will never happen [Nn = 0]...


Thanks

Nice work!!! Do you have ge

Nice work!!!
Do you have generator expressions for the 24q positions?
