ABSTRACT:
An educational toy comprising support means arranged or arrangeable to define a plurality of adjacent stations, a supply of elements each bearing at least one character from which elements the solution of a problem represented by the stations can be built up by placement of the elements on respective stations, and co-operating means on the stations and elements, for verifying that a correct element is mounted on any station, characterized in that the supply of elements is divided into a plurality of groups each having a distinctive visible coding and the stations each bear the appropriate group coding, so that an appropriate element can be chosen from a predetermined number of possibilities corresponding to the number of different elements in its group. The support means can consist of a board marked with a device showing the problem and associated means for receiving the elements, and constituting the stations. Alternatively, the support means can consist of reference elements, cryptically marked e.g. on an under-face and being complementary to the character elements. In one embodiment the reference elements are marked with capital letters and the character elements with lower case letters. The groups are preferably coded by color.
