Abstract (en)

A puzzle comprising a plurality of playing pieces (1a, 1b, 1c) which are substantially regular in cross-section and which are each longer than they are wide with at least two faces of substantially all the pieces carrying a predetermined marking or markings which form part of a solution figure. The playing pieces are arrangeable together to form the solution figure having an exposed solution face composed of one exposed face of each playing piece, the width and depth of the solution face being greater than the length of any playing piece. In a preferred embodiment, each of the four solution faces of each playing piece carries a design which forms part of another different solution so that the same set of playing pieces can be arranged together into other configurations to form different solution figures.
