Take the Triamid completely apart by breaking it down to its individual components (10 pieces and 4 black connectors). Randomly reassemble the individual components back together into a Triamid again.
Pop off a mini-triamid, rotate it in any configuration, and snap it back onto the base.
There are 12 different ways to attach the mini-triamid onto the base, and this is what makes tha puzzle so tricky; a side that was once buried can now become completely exposed, and a side that was exposed can now become completely buried.

The first eight moves are somewhat like the Pyraminx puzzle; after popping off a mini-triamid, you must rotate it along the vertice before snapping it back onto the base. Notice how the buried side of the mini-triamid remains buried afterwards. The next four moves disobey the laws of the Pyraminx; after popping off a mini-triamid, you must rotate it about the face before snapping it back onto the base. | ||
