Researchers into the phenomenon cite the added concentration needed to "make sense" of such unnatural three dimensional objects.

The software, Turquiose Superstat, knows nothing about time zones according to its author. The machine the stats are generated on is in the indicated time zone. Perhaps I'll note it in future posts. Thanks.
