The dodecahedron puzzles use the prefixes of mega-, giga, tera, ect. But what would we do for the ones in between? Should we just put master in front of the lower-level puzzle? (master megaminx), master gigaminx, ect.) Combine the lower level and higher-level prefixes? (megigaminx, gigeraminx, ect.) Any ideas?
 
Kilominx, megaminx, gigaminx, teraminx, petaminx, examinx.
Yes, let me explain what I meant by even dodecahedron. The kilominx (flowerminx) is actually an example. There are two cubies that "connect" two faces. On the megaminx there are three. But there isn't one with 4. The gigaminx has 5, and the teraminx has 7.
 
The "ones in between" aren't natural twisty puzzles - you can't cut a solid dodecahedron that way (or, if you do, it won't turn). So I wouldn't say they really deserve to have canonical names. I say, whoever makes a working one can call it whatever they like (kilominx, flowerminx, impossiball, master kilominx, 4x4 minx, whatever)...

How do people make them then?
