Hello!
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0I have a fairly simple question: how do y=
ou perform middle
slice turns?
On the standard=C2=A0{4,3,3}x3, the middle slice effect can easil=
y
be achieved by turning opposite cubes in opposite ways,
obviously. But, for example, on the {4,3,3}x4, I can't figure
out how to slice any of the cubes right down the center. In
essence, it's been reduced back down to just a {4,3,3}x3
without those turns. Also, if I do a 2 or 3 move scramble
on=C2=A0the {3,3,3}x3, it often does a middle slice of sorts, but
since no tetrahedra are paired into opposites, I can't seem to
undo the effect of the middle slice.
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0This is probably just a user interface th=
ing I'm missing.
Is there a key to hold down as you click in such a way to make
a middle slice happen?
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0Thanks,
