    The Polaris Cube looks very scary once scrambled. In order to solve the little pieces between the corner and the center, it’s as easy as RLR’L’ a couple of times, or do you use more advanced commutators?

      I saw someone playing with a Polaris at a comp and I couldn’t even figure out what I was looking at. The pieces are so foreign

      Not exactly sure what corresponds to “R” and “L” on an 8-axis puzzle, but a simple four-move commutator will cycle three of the little pieces. If you can solve a Skewb and a Dino Cube, you should be able to solve the Polaris Cube.
