ABSTRACT:
A puzzle construction is provided that can be conveniently configured in the form of a humanoid figure. The puzzle includes an upper torso, a lower torso, and five appendages spaced around a periphery of the upper and lower torsos. The puzzle is configured to resemble a humanoid figure, with each of the appendages configured to resemble a humanoid type appendage, such as an arm, a leg, or a head. The upper and lower torsos are rotatably connected so that they may rotate relative to each other about a central, longitudinally-extending axis. The appendages are mounted to the torsos so that they may rotate about a central axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and intersects the first axis. The upper torso is configured to carry three of the appendages when it is rotated and a lower torso is configured to carry two of the appendages when it is rotated.
