ABSTRACT:
A movable surface global puzzle includes a magnetic core and a concentric shell spaced from and surrounding the core, the shell is divided into component sections as defined by planes passing through a center of the core, and is magnetically held to the core. A plurality of ball bearings interposed between the shell and the core provide for slidable movement of the shell sections about the core and relative to each other. A world map, geometric design or similar pattern is depicted on the surface of and extending over several sections. The object of the puzzle is to rearrange a random distribution of the shell sections by a series of shiftable movements so as to recreate the composite or mosaic pattern. In an alternate arrangement a handle is provided for removal of one or more shell sections from the core to provide an alternate method of play and to facilitate solving the puzzle.
