Master Tetraminx

Click a thumbnail to see its larger version and description.
A puzzle shaped like truncated tetrahedron with 8 possible rotations.

Like its ancestor, the Tetraminx, this puzzle has the shape of a truncated tetrahedron, which is an archimedean solid. Despite the Tetraminx this puzzle has two cuts per throughgoing axis. The cuts are not set equidistantly from the origin. This is a property it shares with the offset skewb, and the original Tetraminx.
This puzzle contains four visible types of pieces:
1. The hexagonal faces. These represent "corners" known from the Tetraminx.
2. The edges between hexagons and triangles: These represent the edges of the Tetraminx.
3. The corners. These are one halve of the X-pieces of the face turning octahedron.
4. The edges between hexagons. These represent a new type of pieces invisible on all traditionally cut puzzles.
Piece type signature: HC2[C1 E3 X9/ VNz3/][]
