David,

Interesting observation! Your argument about the Plummer Cross being a local
maximum in QTW metric holds for any completely symmetrical configuration of
the cube, independent of the algorithm used to reach it. There are a lot of them
(including "home").

It raises the question: Can the maximally distant point be proven to be
symmetric? If so, the search for a bound is much simplified.

Bill
