ABSTRACT:
Matching question and answer cards in combination with a pair of pivotally interconnected rectangular "flip-flop" plates. The question card bears near the top the letters forming the answer to the question out of the proper sequence, and also bears pictorial representations giving clues to the proper answer. The question card also bears at the central location the same letters in the proper sequence, but intermingled with other letters. The answer card is adapted to be superposed on the question card and bears further clues more explicit than the first-named clues, and a series of holes in its center portion to register with the letters forming the right answer on the question card, so that the proper answer appears through the holes. The two plates are pivotally interconnected by opaque flexible tapes so that the plates can be successively pivoted in the same direction alternately about their opposite ends; the inner face of one plate has a recess and a transparent panel forming two gaps for removable insertion of the two cards in superposed position. The player inserts a question card into the recess of the plate and tries to figure out the answer from clues. If, after a certain time he does not find the answer, he takes the answer card. If he does not yet find the proper answer, he inserts the answer card over the question card and flips the two plates twice to expose the answer through the holes of the answer card.
