On the edge there are 4 groups of 4 coloured pieces. Each group is arranged in a circle with two pieces in the top layer, two in the bottom. When the top layer is rotated, the top two pieces of each group are carried along with it to the next group. Each group can be twisted, cyclically permuting its pieces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"solution\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSolution to the Tricky Disky (and Varia-Disk):\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhase 1:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSolve 3 pairs of pieces in the top half.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003col type=\"a\"\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eFind the piece that is to go the front group at the top right.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIf it is in the bottom layer, then turn the bottom to get it to the front group.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIf it is in the top layer, then turn the top to get it to the front group, do F2 and turn the top layer back again to where it was before.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eTwist the front to put the piece at the top LEFT of the front group.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eFind the piece that is to go the front group at the top left.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIf it is at the front, top right, then swap the two pieces with the sequence FTF'T' F TFT'F2.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIf it is elsewhere in the top layer, then turn the top to get it to the front group, twist the front to put the piece at the bottom left, turn the top back and then finally do F to put the pieces correct.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIf it is in the bottom layer, then turn the bottom to get it to the front group.
