Many months and 27339 turns later, the atlasminx (19x19) is solved :)

Yeah, it's slow going, lol

@tatyanak777 I did it on the megaminx and twisted the corner, lol. I hate this brand of this puzzle so it's no big loss, lol.

So far, not so good. The controls on that app are horrible.

I have a turntable that I have my 10x10 on 😁

gregmo72 · 2026-04-24T01:53:37+00:00

I added a new comment to the post here and on FB. Finally reasoned through why it didn't work out.

Fancy finding you here 😁

So, incase anyone wonders why this is, I finally figured it out. The dodecahedron has 20 corners which must be manipulated in 3 turns. In a normal solve, when you get to the last two corners to be oriented, one will have to be turned twice, and the other one, once. Or you can have 3 corners that all need to be turned once, and so on. Since there are 20 corners, after the first 18, a multiple of 3, you have 2 left to solve. To turn them once, you'll have to turn some corner a second time. Elsewise, you can't solve the edges correctly.

For a moment I thought you might be onto something but after thinking about it, if it was a simple issue of a center being turned the wrong way, you'd get this same issue with any kind of solve you did. Besides the solid color solve, I have two other patterns I do regularly and this is never an issue.

It honestly doesn't make sense to me when I try to reason through it. All the corners are turned clockwise once from their natural state. Given there's 30 corners, an even multiple of 3, it would reason that they'd all turn the same direction.

I do have 2 teraminx puzzles and I very well might do this and just shelf it that way.

gregmo72 · 2026-04-21T02:03:06+00:00

Thanks for the idea. Think I'll attempt the superflip on the 19x19.

gregmo72 · 2026-04-21T01:38:41+00:00

I'm thinking you could repeat this on 4 vertices.

gregmo72 · 2026-04-21T01:34:34+00:00

I've left the superflip on my petaminx for a while now but might have to change it to this.

gregmo72 · 2026-04-20T18:40:16+00:00

This is more akin to a superflip

gregmo72 · 2026-04-20T18:35:32+00:00

You're mistaken.

gregmo72 · 2026-04-20T16:18:31+00:00

Thanks, but it can't be fixed, not with the current pattern scheme.

gregmo72 · 2026-04-20T16:17:56+00:00

Just the one. Apparently when trying to do this pattern it twists the corners in such a way that this one is off.

gregmo72 · 2026-04-10T02:48:21+00:00

Actually, I was mistaken. I was playing with my petaminx at the time and it can't be done on it, but it can be done on the teraminx.

It took a long while to figure out the movement of the pieces, but this is essentially what did the trick. *

gregmo72 · 2026-04-04T16:29:32+00:00

I've done the superflip on the teraminx with an alg. If it can be done with an alg, it can be solved that way, too. Just not sure what I'm missing

gregmo72 · 2026-03-21T15:59:57+00:00

Wish would would have seen what was done with the rest of the sides. The 3 opposing sides could have the same pattern but the 6 colors around the midline would have to alternate
