Hi Jenelle,

The number of hidden cells depend on the display settings chosen, so the
answer is different depending on which of the example settings are chosen or
any alterations you make. By default, the only cells that are hidden are
the inverted (or mirrored during projection) ones. With the default 4D
perspective point distance, this has the effect of hiding 13 cells (the one
antipodal to the puzzle "center" and the first layer surrounding that
antipodal cell). If you increase the 4D perspective point distance, more
cells get mirrored so you would see some of them disappear. To show every
cell, you can start the program with the installed defaults, go to the
visibility tab, then select the checkbox "Draw Inverted Cells". But like
MC4D (where the analogous face would be the hidden 8th face), the mirrored
cells tend to hide other portions of the puzzle…

Take Care,

Roice
