The non-pillowed version of the face turning tetragonal trapezohedron. A jumbling-only puzzle.

The puzzle is one of the infinite set of n-sided trapezohedrons which can be made into jumbling puzzles. The proportions of the puzzle are such that the equatorial vertices have three-way symmetry, and the polar vertices have four-way symmetry. Each face of the puzzle can be oriented in any of six new positions, provided that the slice is not blocked by previously turned slices.

This puzzle is case of parallel development. The first version with a pillowed shape was presented by Ryan Binter three days before David Pitcher presented this non-pillowed version. Binters first version is named "Face turning tetragonal trapezohedron".

Measurement of the non-pillowed version:
Short edges: 36 mm
Long edge: 62 mm
