Abstract
A puzzle with combined interlocking members includes R interlocking members, of which R≧7. The interlocking member is composed of two ends and a central portion as well as a first surface and a corresponding second surface. The first and second surfaces are provided with 16 blocks for changing the recessed positions of the central portion. Six interlocking members from R interlocking members can be assembled into at least two configurations or solutions. In addition, this invention provides many other configurations with at least 14 predefined interlocking members of different constructions. So, it presents many flexible configurations with excellent amusement and strong challenge.
