First cut an unit cube in half so that each half has 2 square faces and 2 half square faces, besides the cut face. Divide the 2 square faces into 2 half square faces, so that there are 6 half square faces. Use them in pairs to make 3 identical irregular tetrahedra. Do the same for the other half of the cube. Congruent includes mirror images.

The cube satisfies 0 < x < 1 , 0 < y < 1 , 0 < z < 1 0<x<1,0<y<1,0<z<1

Then slice the cube into six:

0 < x < y < z < 1 0<x<y<z<1

0 < x < z < y < 1 0<x<z<y<1

0 < y < x < z < 1 0<y<x<z<1

0 < y < z < x < 1 0<y<z<x<1

0 < z < y < x < 1 0<z<y<x<1

0 < z < x < y < 1 0<z<x<y<1
