Neuman and Reid describe a 2-cusped hyperbolic 3-orbifold in which the cusps are geometrically isolated. Based on numerical evidence provided by Jeff Weeks' “SnapPea” program, they conjecture that the cusps are strongly geometrically isolated, a fact which we establish here. We also give a parameterisation of the Dehn Surgery Space of this orbifold which has amusing properties.
