This is a Pentultimate with edge turns that are possible only when the Pentultimate is in midturn.

This puzzle applies the concept of the Maple Leaves Skewb to a dodecahedron. It turns like a Pentultimate and (in the middle of the turns) allows for additional half turns on the edges. See image 3. It preceeded the "Maple Leaves Pentultimate Extreme" which allows 90� turns on the edges.

Compared with the number available if the puzzle can be disassembled and reassembled there are these restrictions:
-The orientation of the last corners is determined by the other nineteen.
-The permutations of corners are always even.
-The permutations of faces are always even.
-The permutations of T-pieces are always even.
