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 ...
Because faces of the Skewb Diamond correspond to corners of the Skewb Ultimate, an additional constraint on the orientation of these pieces appears. Any Skewb Diamond solution thus requires a few additions in order to solve the Skewb Ultimate. Commercial Name: Pyraminx Crystal Geometric shape: Dodecahedron Piece configuration: 3x3x3
At first glance, the Helicopter Cube may seem like a combination of the 2x2x2 and the Skewb, but it actually cuts differently, and twists around cube edges rather than cube faces. The purpose of the puzzle is to scramble the colors, and then restore them back to their original state of a single color per face.
Two-look PLL solves the corners first, followed by the edges, and requires learning just six algorithms of the full PLL set. The most common subset uses the A-perm and E-perm to solve corners (as these algorithms only permute the corners), then the U-perm (in clockwise and counter-clockwise variants), H-perm and Z-perm for edges.
Solving the Gear Cube is based more on the observations the solver makes. There are only two algorithms needed to solve the cube, so finding the patterns is a key skill. However, using the algorithms is simple once the patterns are located. Phase 1: Solve the corners: (This step is intuitive; there are no algorithms to complete this step.)

The Skewb (/ ˈ s k juː b /) is a combination puzzle and a mechanical puzzle similar to the Rubik's Cube. It was invented by Tony Durham and marketed by Uwe Mèffert . [ 1 ] Although it is cubical, it differs from the typical cubes ' construction; its axes of rotation pass through the corners of the cube, rather than the centers of the faces.
