ABSTRACT:
An entertainment device includes at least three sets of six movable elements and each of the elements of each of the sets is substantially in the form of a regular triangle. The elements of different sets are differently colored or marked. The six elements of each set are arranged around a primary center point of the set and defining a circumscribed circle. The center points of the three sets are arranged to define an auxiliary regular triangle with the circumscribed circles thereof tangential to each other. The auxiliary regular triangle has a center which defines a secondary center point surrounded by six of the elements that are from the sets associated with the auxiliary angle so that each of the primary center points and the secondary center point has six of such movable elements surrounding it. Each of the center point also has a driving mechanism associated therewith, which includes a rotating knob manually operable to rotate the driving mechanism about the associated center point and a coupling member which selectively couples the six associated elements to the rotating knob so as to allow the elements to be selectively moved along a circular path around the associated center point. By selectively rotating the driving mechanism of the center points, the movable elements which may be randomly positioned in different sets may be switched between different sets and eventually achieve a desired result.
