Krystian's Pyramid by OSKAR

Hi Twisty Puzzles fans,

Krystian's Pyramid is a shape-mod of Krystian's Twist by Krystian Wilisowski. By turning this crazy jumbling puzzle into a pyramid, the shape is easier to understand. Moreover, one can see the orientation of the four corners, which gives a (false?) sense of direction. Krystian's Pyramid looks like it belongs on the top of a christmas tree. This twisty puzzle turns around three axes. Apart from doctrinaire moves, it also has a fascinating seven-move jumbling sequence.

Watch the YouTube video.
Buy the puzzle at my Shapeways Shop.
Read more at the Shapeways Forum.

Enjoy!

P.S. I have also made some nice non-twisty puzzles recently.

Are the pieces of Krystian's Twist interchangeable with those of Krystian's Pyramid? Or is Krystian's Pyramid smaller? I ask as I was expecting Krystian's Pyramid to be more expensive on Shapeways but Krystian's Twist is actually a few bucks more even though its corners are truncated.

Nice, I really like this one.

Great work Oskar! Over the past few weeks of seeing this I have been tempted to hand over the cash for this one. Certainly one of my favourites from you.

Smaller. I typically normalize the volume of my puzzles to the volume of a classic Rubik's Cube.

It looks much nicer as a pyramid!

...But, may I make a comment? If you were to present this puzzle to someone for mass production (and I hope you do!), I think having the top piece flat (i.e. making it a triangular frustum instead of a tetrahedron) would be a little more practical. It'd look cool too!

Great puzzle! The jumbling is really mind-boggling!

You could even call it "Frustrum Frustration", or something like that....
