5x5x5 Solving Programs: The list is growing
Submitted by NoLongerUnsolve... on Sun, 06/05/2016 - 22:06.
As of June 5, 2016, there are 3 different 5x5x5 solving programs that I know of: one is a robot that solves a physical 5x5x5 cube, one is a java program, and mine is written in C running under Windows 10. I know this forum caters specifically to those interested in "numbers" associated with the various cubes, and I do have some nodes-per-depth data that might be of interest to the group. As for those who might wish to submit test scrambles or other queries to the 5x5x5 programs, my guess is that this is outside of the domain of interest here. So as to not "step on any toes," I have a separate discussion board set up so as to not distract anyone from here. If you'd like more info about that, you can email me at edwardtrice at mail dot com.
And for the 5x5x5 nodes per distance (not counting depth 0's 1 node):
depth 01: 45 depth 02: 1,665 depth 03: 59,085 depth 04: 2,095,695 depth 05: 74,331,495 depth 06: 2,636,431,695 depth 07: 93,510,461,295 depth 08: 3,316,682,338,695 depth 09: 117,637,979,416,695 depth 10: 4,172,450,898,004,695 depth 11: 147,990,866,406,820,695 depth 12: 5,249,024,392,428,376,695 depth 13: 186,175,388,666,006,296,695 depth 14: 6,603,374,789,977,493,176,695 depth 15: 234,212,260,435,431,232,696,695 depth 16: 8,307,173,934,990,480,098,536,695 depth 17: 294,643,579,537,160,864,966,536,695 depth 18: 10,450,586,401,808,707,204,742,536,695 depth 19: 370,667,354,480,380,735,149,206,536,695 depth 20: 13,147,040,978,839,721,425,767,000,136,695
