Proportional 2x6x6 with wrinkles
Above:Solved
The above is currently the only image for this item.
A 2x6x6 with cracks. It looks like a split proportional one, but some of those lines are fake and are hiding the wider edges.

At first glance it looks like a 2x8x8 or a proportional 2x6x6, cracked like an unfortunately dropped IPad. In reality the edges are much wider than the centres. The outermost set of the lines are not functional. But it is still a fully functional 2x6x6.
The inventor does not recommend building any cuboid with this method because his 2x6x6 turning was awful and he did not have enough patience to break it in.
A few months later Ilya Toporgilka figured out that polyfloppy cuboids can be done much better turning and much smaller in size if made in larger portions and barrel shaped since sometimes barreling a puzzle deletes a lot of the original layers of a cubic puzzle if the builder wants to retain the straight(non-curved) cuts. As an example, a 2x4x4 tablet is a barreled proportional 2x6x6 if we allow the bandaging to avoid curved cuts. He then made his mini void tetracross 6x18x18 tablet (cross 12x18x18x) tablet and mini pentaemperor hexadecagonal prism (barreled 36x54x54) but of course he does not claim those puzzles to be conventionally fully functional as he followed Superantoniovivaldi's logic where the next puzzle after a tetraminx is not a truncated master pyraminx but a Gem VIII. Interestingly Ilya Toporgilka figured out that following this logic leads to another "correct" counting of the dimensions but sometimes it strangely gets glued and connected layers. See the separate entry in the museum.
