The first face turning tragonal trapezohedron. A jumbling-only puzzle.

The puzzle is one of the infinite set of n-sided trapezohedrons which can be made into jumbling puzzles. The proportions of the puzzle are such that the equatorial vertices have three-way symmetry, and the polar vertices have four-way symmetry. Each face of the puzzle can be oriented in any of six new positions, provided that the slice is not blocked by previously turned slices.

This puzzle is case of parallel development. The first version with a pillowed shape is shown here and was presented by Ryan Binter three days before David Pitcher presented his non-pillowed version he named "Jumble Trap"

Measurements of the pillowed version:
Short edges: 32 mm
Long edges: 51 mm
Weight: 35 grams
