Abstract
The jigsaw puzzle has a number of cubic playing pieces. On each of the six facets of each playing piece is displayed a segment of one of six different pictures. When the facets of one such picture all face upward and the cubes are correctly arranged side by side each other, the upwardly facing segments of the picture combine to display the complete picture. Similarly, when the cubes are arranged in turn so that the segments of the other five pictures are facing upwardly, the segments combined to display in turn the five other pictures. A magnetized sheet is provided on which the cubes are placed. The cubes are attracted to the sheet and remain stationary once they are placed on it so that it is unnecessary for the cubes to interlock to remain stationary when the puzzle is being worked on.
