Hmmm...that would depend on whether the stains were my blood..

Well, realize that I've actually only heard two: yours and the uninspired
"11-dim cube".

Ok-consider this simpler problem: Put a 2x2x2x2x2 grid on a web page.

. . | . .     . . | . .
. . | . .     . . | . .
- -   - -     - -   - -
. . | . .     . . | . .
. . | . .     . . | . .

Crossing a horizontal line, but staying in the same position otherwise,
is changing coord 3. Crossing a vertical one is coord 4, and switching grids
in coord 5.
Or in other words, "2-space is a hotel with floors and rooms, 3-space is a
street of hotels, 4-space is a city of streets, and 5-space is a string of
cities."

The additional colored lines are just extending this: you can switch green
lines (but keep everything else the same) for one coordinate, etc.
That is, each additional coordinate represents which side you're on of one
particular color.
