Someone else remarks that it's "got to be all edges flipped in place",
and Jerry Bryan remarks that it is.*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*I disagree. Look at the 1-2 edge. If it's "flipped in place", then
since it appears to be fixed, the cube must flip around it. But then
the four 3 faces would be where the 4 faces actually are. No, it's
more complicated than just all-edges-flipped."[Q]uite extraordinary and wonderful" it is.
It is in fact the position arrived at by flipping all edges in place, *then*
reflecting the entire configuration. I believe this also tells us what the
other two equivalence classes with just 24 elements are: they are the
results of doing each of these two operations separately.
