A nice 3D puzzle similar to Rubik's cube
is Rubik's dodekahedron which has 12 regular pentagon sides, each consisting of
5 vertices, 5 edges and one middle.
To solve
the dodekahedron it is necessary to find move sequences (I called them tricks) which interchange
only a few cubis. This was the difficult part.
Once you have these tricks, the dodekahedron can easily be solved by suitably selecting and executing them.
The solution I found is similar to that of
the cube.

With these tricks it is easy to figure out how to combine them and to solve
the dodekahedron.
