I happened to notice this problem right off when I built the staircase for my 4706 Forbidden Corridor a while back. It was super obvious because when I spiraled the staircase for the first time, right in the middle, there was a gap, but the rest spiraled evenly. I took it apart and found the problem - one step had the bottom notches turned 180 degrees to the others. I figured it was supposed to be this way and was suprised the instructions didn't address this piece, so I just put that step on the bottom and went from there, solving the problem. I meant to ask about this on Lugnet back when I built it, but it slipped my mind. I am just now reading all the stuff that has been posted about this, and I am suprised to learn that the distribution of this weird piece appears to be random. I thought it served some purpose that I would eventually figure out, but it looks like I was wrong. I am curious to hear what Lego will have to say about this. David
