This is the third implemented face turning rhombic dodecahedron. The puzzles implemented beforehand are Toru and Rua. For this puzzle, masters were printed with an FDM printer and duplicates were made with casting. The geometry of its axis system is identical to that of an edge turning hexahedron. Like all puzzle with this geometry, it allows jumbling turns.
In the first eBay it netted 614 USD.
This puzzle was originally named simply "Face turning Rhombic Dodecahedron". In 2026 the inventor renamed it Tahi (Māori for "one") after a suggestion to follow Toru and Rua, also taken from Māori.
