After much staring, pondering and diagramming, I've discovered the secret of the tone row we're using for our theory final. It is basically just the circle of fifths, but it's /twisted/. In that you take two adjacent members and pull them away from each other to make a line of fifths. Pick the two center members and simply begin turning them like a knob, allowing them to pull the neighbors along. After 2.5 complete turns, drop them all straight down. Tada! Perfect internal symmetry, intervalically a palindrome, and made up of two 5 member palindromes.
For cruelty, start the row on the 9th member so that some of the symmetry is clearly visible and some is not.
