However, there is nothing that I have found that will flip to edges in place (that is, two halves of a C^3). Also, for aligning centers, I have been doing it AFTER edges. The tools I use do not really map into C^3, and I have not yet mastered them to the point wwhere I can finish them off. I sit and stare at the damn thing a lot. This behavior was considered strange even at the science fiction convention that I attended this weekend. Speaking of strange, what kind of reactions have people been getting from folks who see one for the first time? I have gotten the equivalent of double-takes from ones who do notice a difference. Most, however, tend to say "Oh, I have a friend who can do that in X minutes/seconds", in which case you know that they never learned (or probably even played) to solve. - Ron
