Master Pyramorphix Solution
B y Jaap Scherphuis

1. Corners in shape
The four big corners can be placed so that they form a pyramid shape in just a
few moves. There are really only sevendifferent ways they can be arranged. You
can find the arrangement in the diagram below and do the moves indicated to
arrive at the correct arrangement.

2. Orient the twelve wedge pieces
The movesequences below will flip two adjacent wedge pieces. If the two
wedge pieces you want to flip are not close to each other, then you can use halfturns to bring them together.

3. Orient the six ridgepieces
With the move sequences below you can twist a single ridge piece. After
orienting these the puzzle should be in the correct shape.

4. Solve the six ridge pieces
Any ridge piece can be givena half-turn without affecting the other ridge pieces.
Look at the three ridge pieces that share a face. If they have a colour in
common, then you can turn them to show that colour in the sharedface. If they
do not have a colour in common, do the sequence below and try again. The
remaining ridge pieces can then be easily solved.

5. Solve the four corner pieces
If a corner is out ofplace, then you can use the first sequence below to put it in
its correct place. It swaps two corners without affecting the other two. Once a
corner is in the correct place, you can use the secondsequence to orient it
properly.

6. Solve the four triangle pieces
The four triangle pieces can be put in place using the sequence below which
swaps around three of the triangles. If all fourtriangles are wrongly placed, you
will have to use this sequence once to solve one triangle, and a second time for
the remaining three triangles.

7. Solve the twelve wedge pieces
You can move wedgepieces from one face to another using the first two move
sequences below. The third move sequence moves around the wedge pieces
inside a face. To swap two wedge pieces in adjacent faces, you can use...
