A dividing method used to easily divide any given solid into perfectly interfitting parts by using at least one guiding polyhedron to establish an axis system serving as guiding paths for associated geometrical figure contours used to slice said given solid. This axis system is coincident with all or a subset of the geometrical centers of each face of the guiding polyhedron, with midpoints of the edges of the polyhedron, and with the vertices of the polyhedron. The dividing method is based on five different techniques: a selecting technique, a sizing technique, a multi-slicing technique, a multi-pivoting technique, and a multi-guiding technique. This dividing method can create extremely challenging, aesthetic and symmetrical three-dimensional puzzles having shifting and optionally sliding features. This dividing method works with polyhedron-based solids, spherical solids and odd-shaped solids of any kind.
