[TheForge] quiet test

[ries]

These twists are the basis for some of the wilder twists I am doing.  
You can get different results depending on how you cut the slots, how  
you space em, and how much you twist.

of my favorites was what he called the rubics cube twist, where you  
use a

twist, it
looks like a stack of square blocks.
