Solution to this QJ King of 2 Layer puzzle thing? (skweb look a like)

[axe97]

So i got this puzzle from lightake, because i wanted to add it to my puzzle collection.
however, i don't even know what this thing is called, nor a solution for it, lol.
It does however shapeshift slightly.

It is a Ultimate Skewb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewb_Ultimate

Just apparance, solution is the same as for Skewb or Jinx pyra.

No, it's a 3x3 core and the centres need orienting (or permuting, I'm not sure which is the correct word for this situation).

Same solution as a pyramorphix.

I'm not sure how good the tutorial is. I didn't need it.

cube-0-holic is right. It is just the same as a regular 3x3x3 cube but sometimes it is hard to get your head around it.
Also, the center pieces need to be orientated correctly.

If you don't know how to rotate one center 180deg or two centers 90deg, I suggest you mark the centers of a regular 3x3x3 and try to figure it out. It was an interesting exercise when I did it.

Or quickly find a post by Chris Hardwick and refer to his signature. I've done this no less than half a dozen times.

When you figure out how to do something and understand the basic concept of how it works, you don't need to look up an algorithm because you know what is happening with the cube.
