Yes, this is weird but not so much as in the case that I faced with in RTL
in 1998. Some guy from Australia (note the distance) stated in a message to
RTL that while he was building his barcode truck, he noticed that, when he
attach a 1x2 45 degree inverse slope on top a 1x1 brick since it was
required in a step, the inverse slope popped out repeatedly. Although they
are symmetrical, i.e.. there is another couple of the same parts, only one
of them had this problem. Strange part of that, I faced with the same
problem, with the exact same pieces, at the exact same step, but in Turkey!
