The dodecahedral cousin of the Oblique Turning Cube V3

The inventor wanted to transform the Oblique Turning Cube V3 into something dodecahedral. The result is a Pentultimate but with additional turns possible when the faces are placed by 36� instead of the full 72�. The circles that can be turned in these states are split into six segments and therefore allow for 60� turns.

Compared with the number available if the puzzle can be disassembled and reassembled there are these restrictions:
-The orientation of the last corners is determined by the other nineteen.
-The permutations of corners are always even.
-The permutations of faces are always even.
