Step 1.1
|
The outer edges and corners of the first layer Once the outer edges and corners have been completed, your puzzle will look like this:
No particular algorithm.
The placement of the pieces should remain intuitive.
|
Step 1.2
|
The central edges of the first layer Once the central edges have been completed, your puzzle will look like this:
We will need to find the central edges on the second layer and place them correctly as shown opposite.
|
Case a The element to place is on the right on the 2nd layer
The algorithm allows us to move it down.
|
Case b The element to place is on the left on the 2nd layer
The algorithm allows us to move it down.
|
|
Step 1.3
|
The lateral edges of the 1st layer Once the lateral edges have been processed, your puzzle will look like this:
We will need to find the lateral edges on the 2nd or 3rd layer and place them correctly as shown opposite.
|
Case a The element to be placed is on the right on the 2nd layer
The algorithm allows it to be moved down.
|
Case b The element to be placed is on the left on the 2nd layer
The algorithm allows it to be moved down.
|
Case c The element to be placed is on the right on the 3rd layer
The algorithm allows it to be moved down.
|
Case d The element to be placed is on the left on the 3rd layer
The algorithm allows it to be moved down. 50|||Step 2.1

|
Etape 2.1
|
The central edges of the 2nd layer Once the central edges have been processed, your puzzle will look like this:
We will need to find the correctly oriented central edge on the second layer and place it at the back.
The other two central edges must be oriented as shown opposite.
|
The algorithm allows us to swap them.
|
|
Step 2.2
|
The lateral edges of the 2nd layer Once the lateral edges have been processed, your puzzle will look like this:
We will need to find the lateral edges on the 3rd layer and place them correctly as shown opposite.
|
The element to place is to the right
The algorithm allows it to be moved down to the left.
|
The element to be placed is to the left
The algorithm allows it to be moved down to the right.
|
|
Step 3.1
|
The lateral edges of the 3rd layer When the lateral edges have been processed, your puzzle will look like this:
There is no case, a priori, where 2 lateral edges are swapped.
This case is therefore trivial.
|
Case a Rotate clockwise
The algorithm allows them to be rotated.
|
Case a Rotate clockwise Counterclockwise
The algorithm allows you to rotate them.
|
|
Step 3.2
|
the outer edge of the 3rd layer and the corner of the 4th layer Once the outer edge and the corner have been processed, your puzzle will look like this:
We will need to correctly position the side edges of the 3rd layer as shown opposite.
The corner of the 4th layer must also be correctly positioned relative to the outer edge of the 3rd layer.
|
Case a Rotate clockwise
The algorithm allows you to rotate them.
|
Case b Rotate counterclockwise
The algorithm allows you to rotate them.
|
|
Step 4
|
The Centers Once the centers have been processed, your puzzle will look like this:
Note: the blue face corresponds to the hidden face underneath.
|
Case a Only the 3 centers of the 2nd layer are misplaced.
Rotate clockwise
The algorithm allows you to rotate them.
You will then need to reposition the elements of the third layer (case b)
The 4 centers will then be misplaced, the 4x4 Pyraminx is then correctly oriented to apply the appropriate algorithm (case c)
|
Case b Only the 3 centers of the 2nd layer are misplaced.
Rotate in the direction counterclockwise
The algorithm allows you to rotate them.
You will then need to reposition the elements of the third layer (case a)
The 4 centers will then be incorrectly placed; the left face must first be brought to face you, and then the appropriate algorithm must be applied (case c).
|
Case c The 4 centers are incorrectly placed.
Place the 4x4 Pyraminx so that the center placed underneath corresponds to the face facing you.
By convention, the blue face can be underneath, but the face with the blue center is not necessarily the green face.
