The invention provides for a series of five related three-dimensional mechanical puzzle devices comprising a real or imaginary spherical support element and a plurality of moveable interlocking shapes which can be manipulated around any of a number of distinct axes to assume a very high number of configurations. The external appearance of the devices are keyed so that the unique identity of each external.segment can be determined and related to the global reference frame thus realising a series of puzzles which can be regarded as solved if the segments are positioned in a desirable rather than a undesirable configuration. The realisation of said devices can be via an electronic simulation.
