Puzzle related to the famous "Rubik's Cube" wherein instead of defining a plain cube, a sculptured surface is created defining a head (Fig. 6), a globe (Fig. 7), or any other shape wherein the shape itself is determinative of the correct positioning of the individual cube elements rather than merely utilizing colors of the faces of a cube to determine correct ordering. Additionally, a new operative structure is provided in the disclosed puzzle which utilizes no internal spider connector as does the Rubik's Cube, but rather each element interconnects with adjacent elements with a tongue-and-groove structure (23 and 20, 30 and 32) that positively detains all of the elements along an imaginary spherical surface. |
