Out of curiosity I ran Nick's wheel C(49,6,2,2)=82 thro CoverMaster and here's the quick report:

As you can see the 3if6 is 92%, and the 4if6 is 8% covered.
There must be some tremendous twist on the Trix 2if2 to improve that dramatically.
So I checked the free demo for Luisiana C(40,6,2,2)=57 as displayed on the Trix ws. The CM report is below, note the 3if6 is 97%, and the 4if6 is 13% covered.
That's a bit of an improvement but don't forget that may be 'cuz these are different size wheels. I don't have the ones for a direct comparison but it should be good enough for our discussion.

Judge for yourself, apologies for the bad formatting.
PS. sorry Irvin, I was playing with the format ... not worth it for the Secret ... isn't that what Colonel Sanders put into KFC?
