ABSTRACT:
A puzzle comprising a plurality of continuously open, tubular channels which intersect at a common medial point. The channels radiate outwardly from the intersecting medial point, each along a curve having a 360.degree. radius, and have open, distal ends aligned in a common horizontal plane. A plurality of spherical beads are contained in each channel, with each group of spheres being distinguishable from those groups in the other channels. A flat, rotating cap is mounted to rotate in a horizontal plane immediately above the channel openings, said cap having a pair of traps capable of being concentrically aligned with selected ones of the channel openings. When so aligned, the puzzle is manually tilted such that a selected spherical bead is rolled into the trap and, by rotating the cap, the bead can be transferred to another of the channels.
