To solve the Megaminx first you need to know how to solve the Rubik's Cube because the methods of the two puzzles are very similar.
The bigger dodecahedrons are called Gigaminx, Teraminx, Petaminx, Zettaminx, all the way up to the record-breaking Yottaminx (image below). On the image above a white and a black-body Megaminx is accompanied by their smaller brother, the 2x2 Kilominx (Flowerminx), a dodecahedron-shaped Rubik's Cube shape mod and a 3x3 cube. The World Record is held by the Korean Yu Da-Hyun with a 33.17s result. The Megaminx is an official WCA competition event. There are many variations but the most common version has 12 different colors, having 11 pieces in a star-pattern arrangement on each face with five corner pieces, five edge pieces and a fixed center piece. 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. It is a dodecahedron-shaped face-turning twisty puzzle which is very similar to the classic Rubik’s Cube. The Megaminx, previously called as Hungarian Supernova was patented by Uwe Mèffert.
