I bet some 6D triaprisms <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triaprism> would have
3 distinct sets. Maybe your program can even support them? Triaprisms came
up in discussion
<http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/4D_Cubing/message/763>some time
ago, but I never imagined we’d have the possibility to actually
see them. Something like the {5}x{5}x{5} might be a neat next puzzle for
MPUlt, though like the {3,3}^2, I know I’d never solve it! It would still
be entertaining to admire the object.
