Welcome Matthew. Great to have you join us.

Coincidentally, this question of parities came up and led to lively
discussion only a few months ago. With the paradoxical feeling of a
Buddhist kōan, let me just say you’re both right. There was much more to
talk about than one might have guessed, and I think we fleshed things out
pretty well. Here is the thread in case you are interested to read it:

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/4D_Cubing/messages/620?xm=1&threaded=1&m=s&l=1

Things started with message 620, and became solely devoted to parities at
message 624. However, the discussion was not limited to the 4D cubes (so if
you want to avoid spoilers for a bit, you might want to hold off for now)…

All the best,

Roice
