Impossible Twist

Click a thumbnail to see its larger version and description.
A deeper-than-origin puzzle inspired by the impossible dovetail object.

Unlike the Impossible Dovetail object that inspired it, the Impossible Twist has dovetails on every face and twists rather than slides.

According to Oskar's definition of deeper-than-origin, this puzzle fits into that category, as its dovetail-shaped cuts cross the origin of the puzzle (see image 6).

The symmetry of all three cuts are based around one single corner. Once the puzzle is turned, this symmetry is broken quickly and turns become blocked. At this point, scrambling becomes very difficult if not impossible.
