Pyraminx in its solved state. The Pyraminx (/ ˈ p ɪ r ə m ɪ ŋ k s /) is a regular tetrahedron puzzle in the style of Rubik's Cube.It was made and patented by Uwe Mèffert after the original 3 layered Rubik's Cube by Ernő Rubik, and introduced by Tomy Toys of Japan (then the 3rd largest toy company in the world) in 1981.
At first glance, the Pyramorphix appears to be a trivial puzzle. It resembles the Pyraminx, and its appearance would suggest that only the four corners could be rotated. In fact, the puzzle is a specially shaped 2×2×2 cube. Four of the cube's corners are reshaped into pyramids and the other four are reshaped into triangles.
The Pyraminx Duo, scrambled. As explained above, the total number of possible configurations of the Pyraminx Duo is 324, which is sufficiently small to allow a computer search for optimal solutions. The table below summarises the result of such a search, stating the number p of positions that require n twists to solve the Pyraminx Duo: [4]
An animated example solve has been made for each of them. The scrambling move sequence used in all example solves is: U2 B2 R' F2 R' U2 L2 B2 R' B2 R2 U2 B2 U' L R2 U L F D2 R' F'. Use the buttons at the top right to navigate through the solves, then use the button bar at the bottom to play the solving sequence. Example solves.
The puzzle is essentially a deeper-cut version of the Megaminx, and the same algorithms used for solving the Megaminx's corners may be used to solve the corners on the Pyraminx Crystal. The edge pieces can then be permuted by a simple 4-twist algorithm, R L' R' L, that leaves the corners untouched, in a manner similar to the Pyraminx. This can ...

The Skewb Ultimate, originally marketed as the Pyraminx Ball, is a twelve-sided puzzle derivation of the Skewb, produced by German toy-maker Uwe Mèffert. Most versions of this puzzle are sold with six different colors of stickers attached, with opposite sides of the puzzle having the same color; however, some early versions of the puzzle have ...
