How to solve Bandage Crazy 4x4 III.

New very interesting and difficult puzzle.



* This puzzle completely does not have parities!

Stage 1. Solving the centers.

Stage 2. Solving the trapezoid segments.
The trapezoid segments are rearranged in pairs:
- horizontal segments in a layer D;
- all vertical segments;
- horizontal segments in a layer U. Additional algorithm of rearrangement of two pairs:



Stage 3. Solving the edges.
We use 3-cycles with additional turns.

Stage 4. Orientation of the trapezoid segments.

Stage 5. Permutation of the corner elements.

Stage 6. Orientation of the corner elements.

Stage 7. Permutation of the edges.

Stage 8. Orientation of the edges.
We use 3-cycles with additional turns.

New? I got mine in November 2010. There is not much difference between solving Type II and III.
I wrote about solving Type II in September 2010 here. Or am I missing something?

This puzzle has two heavily bandaged portions.

This is Bandage Crazy Cube. I have stuck together this cube itself.
