A very difficult edge turning octahedron with an unprecedented 6 types of pieces.

This is the physical implementation of Gelatinbrain 4.3.4. According to the solving account of Gelatinbrain this is a very difficult puzzle.
Compared with the similar TORU, an face turning rhombic dodecahedron, this puzzle has one additional type of piece: The pieces between corners and edges are new compared with the TORU. Therefore it has 6 types of pieces, a record for puzzles with this type of axis system. This record was later equalized by the Master Little Chop. Like every puzzle with this axis system it allows jumbling turns.
Piece type signature: HE2[F2 C2 E5 T12 X10 L16][F2 E5]
Edge length: 78 mm
