ABSTRACT:
A spherical mechanical puzzle is comprised of a plurality of separately identifiable puzzle pieces that are hand manipulated over tracks formed in a spherical base member of the puzzle. Three continuous and mutually perpendicular equatorial tracks are formed in the surface of the puzzle base member dividing the base member into eight separate surface sections, each surface section having a different color. The plurality of puzzle pieces are mounted on the three tracks for sliding movement along the tracks, and each of the puzzle pieces is divided into four segments or two segments having identifying colors that correspond to the colors of the base member surface sections. The mechanical puzzle is solved by hand manipulating the puzzle pieces over the three tracks to positions on the tracks where each of the puzzle pieces is positioned adjacent surface sections having the same colors as the puzzle pieces.
