Greenberg Subject: Re: That 28 move Plummer Cross To: McKeeman.PA at PARC-Maxc Cc: Cube-Lovers at MIT-MC, DDYER at at MIT-Multics, Plummer.SIPBADMIN at MIT-Multics The maximally distant point is definitionally symmetric. It was Bawden (ALAN) who first stated this; were it NOT symmetric, there would be some twist you could make that would make it WORSE as opposed to the ones that would make it better. Were this the case, it would then not be a maximum.
