ABSTRACT:
The three-dimensional puzzle extends over the side surfaces of an upright prism having a polygonal base surface. The puzzle is composed of at least two parts (A, B) which are coaxially rotatable (a) relative to each other. The rotation (a) can be manually performed in both directions and each corresponding position of the side faces is marked by a locking engagement between the two parts (A, B). Plaques (1) are slidably (v, h) disposed in a vertical double row on each side face. These plaques (1) cover the full side face. These plaques (1) exhibit on their back side elastic wings (1a) extending and protruding from a connection pin (1b) disposed in the center of the plaque (1). The plaques (1) are slidable at the side faces of the prism in a vertical direction (v) and/or horizontal direction (h) and are held in position with the elastic wings (1a) guided in guide grooves (2). The plaques (1) and elastic wings (1a) are slidable to that side face of the prism which exhibits an empty position (100). Thus, the plaques (1) can only slide where one of at least three and of at most four neighboring plaque positions is unoccupied (100). The possibility exists in this case to change from a selected side face of one part, for example (A), to the corresponding side face of the second part (B).
