Hi folks.

I've been fiddling around in the 4th dimension, and I've come up with 
this! (Appologies for the horrible MPEG compression - but it is a tight 
squeeze to fit under 1MB!)

If you cat a 2D slice out of an ordinary cube in just the right 
direction, you get a hexagon. Not a lot of people know that! So, if you 
take a 3D slice of a hypercube in just the right direction, you get... 
well... a 6-sided polyhedron... whatever you call one of those! LOL

Anyway, took me ages to figure out how to do this - and POV-Ray about an 
hour to render 500 frames. Now I'll have to see what *other* 
hyperdimensional figures I can do...
