<p>A multi-component puzzle comprises a 3*3*3 spatial matrix of elements formed into three layers of 3*3 element arrays, the three layers each being relatively rotatable about a respective one of three orthogonal axes. The 3*3*3 spatial matrix includes a core element about the six faces of which the three layers are able to rotate relatively in a respective one of the three orthogonal axes. The body elements include on their inner faces track grooves and carriage elements, together forming on the layers a circular track and carriage assembly slidably engageable when said layers are assembled. The body elements may be made of a transparent outer portion and an inner portion with a contoured interface therebetween locating indicia. When assembled the indicia on the contoured interface presents a three dimensional image within the transparent puzzle body. The puzzle body may have a cubic outer shape or be shaped to represent a three dimensional article.</p> |
