That’s a really neat observation, so thanks for sharing! I would have
guessed otherwise, even knowing the 16-cell is the only "duoantiprism". I
just would have thought it to be too symmetrical of an object for this
effect (similar to how the 3^4 is a duoprism, yet is too symmetrical to
disallow pieces from moving from one "duoprism torus" to the other). I
enjoy being surprised by things like this.

Big props on your first solve too :D
