SUMMARY
The discussion centers on determining the Miller indices for a triangular plane intersecting a cubic cell at x=-1 and y=-5/12, with z being parallel. Participants noted that the question is poorly worded and lacks clarity, particularly regarding the concept of planes having corners. Additionally, it was emphasized that such questions should be posted in the Homework & Coursework section, and assistance is typically given only after the original poster demonstrates effort in solving the problem.
