Abstract
A multiple rhombic dodecahedron puzzle includes a plurality of wooden puzzles arranged in a multiple rhombic dodecahedron. The multiple rhombic dodecahedron is equivalent to a cube formed by a plurality of rhombic dodecahedrons connecting to each other. Each of the wooden puzzles includes two unit elements. The two unit elements are connected to each other and are the same others. Each of the two unit elements has a plurality of surfaces. Each of the surfaces has a diamond shape or a triangular shape. Two of the surfaces which in the triangular shape are connected to each other in order to form a concave shape.
