A puzzle using two layers of sixteen small, thin, disc type magnets in an upper and lower matrix of 4x4 each, whereby the top layer of revolving magnets are colored in two colors at the north and south pole of the magnets, and are horizontally confined to their place, but can turn around showing either one of the colors while the lower layer is confined vertically and whereby each of the magnets can change its position within the lower matrix by a mechanism of sliding bars in x and y direction, thereby maintaining its original north-south direction. This mechanism enables each of the confined individual magnets in the lower layer (matrix) to move around whereby always four magnets in a row are moved one position in the matrix either in x or y direction. By moving the lower layer of magnets, the direction of the upper layer is influenced by the magnetic forces acting on one or more magnets and thereby turning the magnet over when two equal poles meet thereby showing either one of the said colors at the time depending on which side is attracted by the magnet underneath in the lower matrix. The objective of the magnetic puzzle is to get a surface of equal colored magnets in the upper layer, by moving the individual position of the magnets in the lower matrix of magnets.
