Ah, I get it now. Very subtle.
By the way, I can now do 1/10 stud offsets! It's a bit small to look any
good, but it's possible. You use a 2x1 plate with centre stud. That sets
you 1/2 a stud, or 5/10, back from the normal row of studs. Then you fit a
technic twin-hole brick on that with a plate pushed into the side, which is
2/5 (or 4/10) of a stud out. So, 5/10 - 4/10 = 1/10. Then, use short pins
in the side of another technic twin-hole brick, or a 2x1 hinge brick, to
attach your wall to the plate. This might be hard to fit in 6-wide though.
