ABSTRACT:
A toy puzzle including a plurality of individual pieces that can be assembled into a geometrically solid shape, such as spherical, is provided. In one embodiment, the individual pieces can include a truncated conical base member with a central spindle protruding perpendicularly from the center of the base. The pieces can have truncated conical base members of the same or different sizes. The spindle has metal in at least the end opposite the base that is attracted and held by a magnet. Upon assembly of the plurality of individual pieces, the magnet will be disposed at the center of a resulting object of preselected shape. In an alternate embodiment, a equilateral pyramid may be formed having a triangular base from six identical pieces. In yet another embodiment, a cube can be formed from twelve identical pieces that are also joined to the magnet in the center.
