All 3-color puzzle are equivalent you say. Which one have you solved with 1=
09 twists? Hexagonal?

There are 5 different 3-color puzzles that are implemented in Magic Tile,=
but they all are the same and equivalent to "hemi-cube" - a figure with 1 =
corner, 3 edges and 3 faces. As far as I know, it is the only nonorientable=
puzzle that is implemented for now.
Everybody can made it himself in material world: take Rubik's cube, paint=
it in 3 colors and always do twists in pairs - rotate opposite faces in th=
e same direction.
I don't remember if I solved it before. May be yes. It's very interesting
puzzle: it is nonorientable, very dense and has strange behaviour of piec=
es.
There may be parity problems on every layer: if you solve layer from insi=
de,
you may find that two "diagonal" stickers are swapped, and you have to sw=
ap a
couple of "side" stickers and then restore them by "even" operations.
Result is 109 twists. It could be much better (below 20?), but I've solve=
d it
by intuition only.

Yes, it was hexagonal. But it could be any of them.
