There is also a variant of tetrahedral Rubik's cube which has only 4 faces on each side, and this variant doesn't seem to be mentioned here on Wikipedia. Samohyl Jan 21:00, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me like that variant would be solved in a maximum of 4 turns by a severely retarded eggplant. Provided that the eggplant had hands.

Actually, it's quite difficult - I found it more difficult than 2x2 Rubik's cube. The reason is that it seems to me you need to go through several non-tetrahedral shapes in order to solve it (ie. primitive operations that start and end as tetrahedron are not enough).

I created the Pyramorphix article, which is the puzzle you are describing. Hellbus 02:32, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

variations

there are variations

junior pyraminx: a trivial "puzzle" that only has the tip layer and the bottom layer. tetraminx: the corners are cut off, shown on this article jing's pyraminx: the tip layer is cut off and then extended up so the tips don't turn and the cuts are a bit deeper, creating a center. gear pyraminx: a pyraminx with gears, related to the gear cube master pyraminx: a "4x4" version professor pyraminx: a "5x5" version and so forth (e.g. royal pyraminx/oblate pyraminx (6x6), emperor pyraminx (7x7), ect.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.185.3.0 (talk) 19:56, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What solid is the Tetraminx?

I know it's a truncated tetrahedron (three hexagons and one triangle meet at each vertex), but does it have a name other than "truncated tetrahedron"? — 90.219.46.138 (talk) 12:31, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
