ABSTRACT:
A three-dimensional geometric puzzle comprised of elongated members, each having a rectangular cross-sectional shape. The members are arranged in pairs in side-by-side abutting relationship. In addition, each pair of members intersects the other pairs perpendicularly and substantially at its midpoint, thus forming a star-shaped configuration. The members can be assembled to and disassembled from the star-shape configuration in a number of predetermined order.
