Maple Leaf Skewb

The Maple Leaf Skewb is a variant of the Skewb. The centres have 4 petals and 4 curved edges that can be scrambled when the puzzle is halfway through a normal Skewb turn. The cuts are similar to a variant of the Helicopter Cube that I don't own called the Curvy Copter.

The version I have is a mass-produced stickerless puzzle. It is a little awkward turning the petals but still doable. The centres are jumbled totally separately from the normal Skewb pieces. Once you have solved the centres, you have reduced the puzzle back to a Skewb and can solve it like a Skewb.
