Abstract

The present invention makes use of the spherical sectors, semi-spheres, cylindrical or circular sections of a solid object or the surface of an object, and breaks them into components. If no such spherical sectors, semi-spheres, cylindrical or circular sections are available on the object, or the existing ones cannot be used for any reason, one can create some adequate ones under allowable circumstances. The puzzle will come into being when any of its broken down components can be shared with (interchanged with components of) other flat or spherical or circular or cylindrical surfaces. The idea of the present invention is rather simple, however it may be applied in a versatile manner.

Description

[0001] The present invention pertains to a 3-dimensional puzzle, and a way to turn the whole or part of a solid object or the surface of such an object into a 3-dimensional puzzle. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Movable-piece type puzzles are known in the prior art. The most famous of these is probably the Rubik's Cube, which, in its original form, provided a cube with six sides, each side being divided into nine pieces. Eight of the nine pieces may be moved in a sliding fashion such that different colors (or printed indicia, or the like) may be aligned to solve the puzzle.

[0003] The puzzle of the type discussed here is of the kind that certain or all of its components can be moved to other positions within the physical constraints of the puzzle. There are three basic conditions to satisfy. First, every movement must involve more than one component. Second, the components must be moved according to the constraints established in the puzzle. Third, when the components are at the...
