ABSTRACT:
The spin puzzle includes a plurality of individual spin elements having opposing spaced surfaces and a peripheral edge surface therebetween. Each element has a circular axial opening and a thin lip positioned about the axial opening on one surface of the spin element and extending away therefrom, the other opposing surface having a recess about the axial opening into which a lip from an adjacent element can fit so that the two elements abut in axial alignment. Also positioned on one opposing surface of each element are a plurality of spaced, raised rib portions, each rib portion being rounded, elongated and relatively narrow. In the other opposing surface are matching cavities into which the rib portions from an adjacent element can fit, thus providing a rotational indexing capability for each element.
