Your approximation is way too large because your best fit polynomial was quartic and you should have used a quadratic

If you use a quadratic polynomial on the even NxNxN records then you get an estimate of around 50 hours, and if you use all NxNxN records from 4 to 15 then you get around 57.5 hours, and the times for an NxNxN cube being roughly 20N^2 or 23N^2. This seems much more reasonable compared to the actual 100x100 record

quadratic also makes sense because you expect difficulty to scale with cubies visible which scales quadratically

My bad fellas, I just went with the quartic polynomial because that's the one the best fit calculator came up with and it looked pretty accurate
