FACTS
- The Pyraminx was first conceived by Uwe Mèffert in 1970. He did nothing with his design until 1981 when he first brought it to Hong Kong for production.
- Uwe is fond of saying had it not been for Erno Rubik's invention of the cube, his Pyraminx would have never been produced.
- 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.
- There are 75,582,720 positions which can be solved using a maximum of 4 tip and 11 complete turns.
- The current world record for a single solve of the Pyraminx stands at 1.36 seconds, set by Oscar Roth Andersen of Denmark at the Danish Special 2013. The best average time of 2.56 seconds is held by Drew Bradsdone at Virginia Open Fall 2014.
