ABSTRACT:
A puzzle game assembled with movable parts that form an irregular polyhedron volume with the appearance of a star of 6 points in the shape of pyramids of rectangular bases, in three pairs of opposed apexes, composed of 27 pieces, of which one is fixed and invisible and 26 are movable and visible, identified in three types of different shapes, A, B and C. The six A type pieces of pyramidal shape, rotate asymmetrically with regard to their opposing pieces, centered by pairs on the axes perpendicularly intersecting in the center of the toy. The twelve B type pieces, of asymmetric shape, translate asymmetrically with regard to the center of the toy and are initially ordered by pairs coordinated on three pairs of parallel axes with four horizontal and two vertical ones that are intercrossed eccentric and equidistant to the center of the toy. The eight C type pieces are diagonally coordinated with regard to the center of the toy. By making 90 degrees turns of the pyramids, the positions of the asymmetric shapes A and B are disordered, presenting visible distortion of the precise geometric shape of the star. The eight C type pieces are translated and remain forming the interior corners of the star. Various colors can be provided on the exposed surfaces of the pieces to increase the complexity of the puzzle.
