Hey guys, I havent been too active in the forums lately, so I apologise if this is old news (I did check the forums, and found nothing). Anyway, I got one of these about a week ago, and I thought I'd share my opinion on it:

i completely forgot to post this topic on the 3 QJ puzzles that came out. i did make a quick video. but not a full review like this

It's spelled trajber's, not trabajer's

Fixed, thanks!

It's spelled octahedron, not octohedron

The name Trajber comes from Josef Trajber, who first mentioned this puzzle in his book "Der Würfel für fortgeschrittene" in 1982.

I've got one of those. I Never knew what it was called. I got mine about 30 years ago. And still have it. Perhaps the first factory batch.

Anyhow. It turns extremely tight and hard. Any one have any suggestions on how I can make it turn much easer? and any one know how I can solve the center corners?

Thanks.

PMs are a nice polite way of mentioning this guys. No need to generate forum traffic and point out someone's mistakes in public.

Solve it like a 3x3x3.

It is not enough to solve like a regular 3x3x3. You'll need an extra step to orient the regular 3x3x3 centers / trajber's octahedron corners, as he has asked. You can find out how to do that, for example, here (solution 1, phase 8)

Anyway, I didn't know this puzzle was already mass-produced back in the 80's, I always though it was a mod.
