Despite looking like a Skewb, this puzzle does not have its axis system or shape.

This was inspired by the Squashed Pentultimate. Diogo Sousa sketched this puzzle after Evgeniy Grigoriev presented the original dodecahedron.
Diogo wanted to name it Skewboid and it is based on the second sweet-spot of the tetragonal dipyramid, so basically, a distorted octahedron. Interestingly, this geometry happens to be a subset of the Rhombic Dodecahedron, and thus is not simply deep cut. Hence it should perhaps be called Diogo's Skewboid. But Francisco was faster.
The puzzle uses a skirting-rails-mechanism similar to the one used by Jason Smith in his pentultimate v3.
