In answer to the question by Dan Hoey, I printed out the unique
antipodal of the 3x3x3 edges -- the one configuration that is
15 moves from Start using only q-turns on the edges of the 3x3x3.
It is really quite extraordinary and wonderful. I already knew
that there were only four equivalence classes with 24 elements.
Well, two of them are Start itself and its antipodal. Without
further ado:
*6* *6* 6*6 3*4 *6* *1* *2* *5* 2*2 3*4 *2* *2* *3**1**4* *1**1**1* 3*31*14*4 5*23*42*5 *3**1**4* *6**6**6* *5* *2* 5*5 3*4 *5* *5*Start Antipodal

If you don't have time to do it right today, what makes you think you are
going to have time to do it over again tomorrow?
