    This is my VeryPuzzle Void Truncated Icosidodecahedron. I am a VERY serious twisty puzzle collector and solver. I had bought this before it came out in already assembled and stickered form, so, what does that mean? You got it; I had to assemble this piece by piece (which came with no instructions), and individually hand place each sticker. I then accidentally slightly mixed a couple sides (faces) up and just decided to fully mix it up. But it's solved, right? Yes, but I did solve it and then I tightened every screw as tightly as possible so I didn't have to solve it ever again lol. This is my most complex puzzle and a true collectible show piece. The pen is there to compare size.

    More on the puzzle. The name is what the brand VeryPuzzle, is calling it however, the name/shape is controversial. There are 62 different sides (faces/colors/shades) and since it runs on tracks, it is not speed solvable but it can be mixed up and solved if you fiddle around with the tension of the screws, possibly disassemble and sand away flash (extra plastic not cut off through the molding process), or just simply lubricate with what I recommend which is a fairly thick lubricant called QiYi MoFangGe M-Lubricant which can be purchased from thecubicle.us for 99 cents (USD). I recommend this over other lubricants because it is VERY thick and it stays in the puzzle for about 2 weeks minimum. I use Maru on my other puzzles but that only stays in a puzzle for 1 hour to 2 days depending on if the puzzle is put in an enclosed bag or box or not.

      I knew it was one of those, and that term pops up in my conversations daily, of course. :))

      A very merry and puzzling Christmas to you Ken!
