As someone points out, and as I realised over the weekend, there are of course 15 pairs of `twin' edges, not 10 as I stated before. Of course the conjecture I made (suggested by one correspondent to be true, but well beyond my group theory) would mean there are then 2^{15-1} = 16384 `distinct' complete solutions to this version of the puzzle! I'll ask my friend where he got the MEGAMINX and the instruction booklet from. He said there were a fair few other similar puzzles there as well.
