Photo 3E and photo 3F ?

[Charles Butler]

For me, If one is going in opposite directions with both hands, then the 
movements are obvious.  If we were to make a rule that added that extra thumb, 
that would instantly add another 96 rotations to each hand, so it is not, I 
would think, worth while to do.

The opposite 8 rotations are seen, to me, as mirror reflections because we are 
biliaterally symmetric. You cannot easily turn your own hand around 180 degrees 
so the extra writing would be so little used as to be a lot of programming for 
nothing. 


We already have 96 per, making it 192 would make it prohibitive to include.

Charles

Hi Charles,
 
    Thank you very much for your answer.  But, it is not easy to read quickly 
same symbols (D and E) and (C and F).
 
    Regards,
