Does a Megaminx have parity?
Does a Megaminx have parity?
Its edge pieces come in visually identical pairs, because of the duplicated colors of opposite faces. However, although visually indistinguishable, they are nevertheless mathematically bound in a parity relationship.

How to solve the parity issue in Megaminx puzzle?
The solution is to swap a single pair of ‘identical’ edges to resolve the parity issue, and then restore the rest of the puzzle. This property is absent in the 12-color Megaminx, because all its edges are distinguishable, and it would be immediately obvious that there is another pair of swapped edges besides the pair one is working with.
How hard is it to solve the Megaminx?
The solution is almost the same, just a few new algorithms come in when you reach the last layer, so if you’re familiar with the classic 3x3x3 Cube then you won’t have problems solving the Megaminx either.
How many combinations can you make with the Megaminx?
Number of combinations. Both versions of the Megaminx have 20 corners and 30 edges. In both cases, only even permutations are possible, regardless of the position of the other set of pieces. Thus, while it is possible to have a single pair of corners and a single pair of edges swapped on a Rubik’s Cube, this is impossible on the Megaminx.
What is the difference between Pyraminx and Megaminx?
The Pyraminx Crystal is a modified Megaminx with deeper turning planes. Tony Fisher has produced a shape modification of the Megaminx into a cube form which he called the Hexaminx. Another variant is the Holey Megaminx, which has no center pieces, like the Void Cube.
