A puzzle assembly is shown and comprises a multiplicity of geared links that are arranged such that their turning axes are oriented along the edges of a polyhedral shape so that when a single link is turned, all links turn synchronously. In the assembly, there are two end positions of the geared links. In each end position, a set of link groups are formed, each of those groups corresponding to one face of the polyhedral shape so that each link group forms a circular track that is inscribed on that particular face. When the puzzle assembly is moved to a second end position, a new set of new link groups is formed corresponding to a different a different set of faces of the polyhedral shape. The puzzle assembly further comprises a number of “petal elements” equal to the number of geared links. The petals have a faceted form and a base piece that extends from that form for providing a sliding contact with the geared links. Each petal element is retained by a geared link. When the puzzle assembly is in one end position, a group of petals corresponding to a polyhedral face touch each other to form a pyramidal shape. Thus, one-half of their surfaces are exposed and one-half of their surfaces are hidden. When the puzzle assembly is “flipped”—the geared links are turned to their other end position—the petals recombine to hide the previously visible surfaces and to reveal the previously invisible surfaces. Importantly, in either end position, the group of petals corresponding to a polyhedral face may be twisted around the center point of that face, thereby changing the correspondence between the geared links and the petal elements.
