Description

ABSTRACT:
A puzzle comprising a planar map projection is formed from a conformal projection of the earth's surface onto an equilateral tetrahedron whose apices are located at preselected significant points on the surface, for example, major airports, major seaports, etc. The planar map puzzle is tesselated (that is, space filling) and periodic (repeating itself with, at most, changes of orientation). A plurality of frames are provided to accommodate different predefined configurations of the puzzle pieces to thereby illustrate differing features of the respective configurations.
