ABSTRACT:
A cube puzzle is disclosed having a plurality of small cubies operatively interconnected to permit manipulation of the cubies and movement thereof from face to face of the cube and into different positions on the cube without disassembly of the cubies. Each cubie has at least one exposed face forming a portion of the surface of the cube, and legible indicia on at least some of the cubie faces are provided. The indicia are arranged in a predetermined relation on the cubies, whereby manipulation of the cube by the user will result in the display of any one of a plurality of predetermined messages on at least one face of the cube. A calender formed from such a cube puzzle has indicia so disposed on selected cubie faces that the date, month abbreviation and name of any day in a year may be displayed on a face of the cube puzzle by proper manipulation thereof.
