DaYan Uranus Bermuda Cube

After Saturn, we reach Uranus. Like the former, this puzzle has four Bermuda faces but it has four faces, each with a single Fisher section. In its solved state, there is freedom of movement on three faces: blue, yellow and orange. This makes it slightly easier to scramble than Saturn.

I had no problems with popping. Like the Saturn, I found it better not to push the cornering and the cube turned most smoothly when it is correctly aligned.

The bandaging prevents the green/red edge piece from being moved out of position.

Solving this puzzle is similar to solving Saturn, though its different configuration needs to be taken into account. I found it a little more difficult to solve than Saturn, though I did not find it necessary to work out any new algorithms.

Solution

By now, I have everything I need to solve any of the Bermuda cubes: it is merely a question of adapting that knowledge to the quirks of each individual puzzle.

Step 1 - Solve the White Pentagon and Triangles

Done intuitively.

Step 2 - Solve the Yellow Pentagon and Triangles

Again, done intuitively.

Obviously, steps 1 and 2 can be done in either order; do the one which seems easier first. This creates a Petrus-like block with freedom of movement on the blue and orange faces.

Step 3 - Orientate the Blue and Orange Pentagons and Rectangles and Solve the Blue Rectangles

Rotate the blue and orange rectangles to the correct orientation. This is straight forward...

Then, solve the blue rectangles...

To use the algorithms that I had already worked out to solve Saturn, turn the blue face by one and a half turns so that the right angle of the central triangle is pointing away from the top face...

Step 4 - Orientate the Blue and Orange Squares and Triangles

I find this step rather fiddly but I am improving with practice.

Step 5 - Permutate the Blue Squares

After the fiddliness of the previous step, this is very straightforward. This just leaves the top face to solve.

Step 6 - Permutate the Remaining Triangles and Squares

Again, this is a little fiddly but not too difficult once the algorithms have been worked out.

There we have it: one solved Uranus Bermuda cube.
