It could simply be a typo and the cube should have been turned. However, it somewhat puzzles me that cube played no role in the "discussion," though I fully realize what the target audience of this book is. I never doubted Kit's conclusion the first time I read the book some half a year ago; it is only now on the second reading that something did not feel right. More precisely, I felt that 16/11 was a DMP style play rather than money style play, and now I can occasionally understand the difference between the two.
