Astrominx Tutorial

The Astrominx is a corner-turning icosahedron shape-mod of the Curvy Starminx. The Regular Astrominx is similar, but missing a center piece (which are the corners on the Curvy Starminx), and is a shape-mod of the Starminx.

Steps To Solve

1) Using the corners as a guide to the color scheme, solve the centers relative to each other using https://youtu.be/D6PB1fhySpQ

Note: skip this step on the Regular Astrominx, as this piece type doesn't exist :)

2) Solve the edges using https://youtu.be/AXksPpygxCw and https://youtu.be/NZ64BYCOPjM. On the Regular Astrominx, refer to the corners to ensure that you get the color scheme correct.

3) Permute the corners using https://youtu.be/5CMDiAWKHr4

4) Orient the corners using https://youtu.be/MC4_NAqcGe0 and https://youtu.be/Yhpy9nV1qh4

5) Solve the petals using https://youtu.be/UkwPhzVi8lg and https://youtu.be/sEBEaIpopNU
