The Pyraminx is a puzzle in the shape of a tetrahedron, divided into 4 axial pieces, 6 edge pieces, and 4 trivial tips. It can be twisted along its cuts to permute its pieces. The axial pieces are octahedral in shape, although this is not immediately obvious, and can only rotate around the axis they are attached to. The 6 edge pieces can be freely permuted. The trivial tips are so called because they can be twisted independently of all other pieces, making them trivial to place in solved position.
The purpose of the Pyraminx is to scramble the colors, and then restore them to their original configuration.
The current world record for a single solve of the Pyraminx stands at 2.83 seconds, set by Tomasz Kiedrowicz at the Gdansk Open 2008 on February 24, 2008. The best average time of 3.96 seconds is held by Yohei Oka, set at the Japan Open 2010, now tray yours.
