Little Genius Producing Puzzles

The Little Genius Producing Puzzles—invention is a method to stimulate advancement of the IQ of users of all ages and nationalities while feeding the human's natural, voracious curiosity and stimulating an insatiable desire for self-discovery, and which consists essentially of a series of single- and multi layered educational puzzle models, of which the intended purpose is to convey the concepts, skills and knowledge of numbers up to one million, word recognition (reading skills), and general knowledge pertaining to any subject. Each puzzle model contains a first item or items having predetermined or preselected connotation/s, which include at least one formation in the form of a picture and/or part of a picture, and/or a number and/or numbers, and/or a word and/or words, and/or a description and/or descriptions and one or more second items having relative or connective connotation/s and/or complemental formations in the form of a picture and/or part of a picture, and/or a number and/or numbers, and/or a word and/or words, and/or a description and/or descriptions and which include the structure of the substrate which include a puzzle board with depression and/or depressions and/or a plurality of loose puzzle pieces, any and all of which operate by means of one or a combination of two or more of the following designs of functional relationships between the indicia (which is the learning contents, represented by the printed matter, and which is generally item 1), and the substrate, represented by the physical puzzle board together with the plurality of physical loose puzzle pieces, which is generally item 2:

• a puzzle board with depressions and a plurality of complimentary puzzle pieces both which are designed to be irregularly shaped, but which appear similar to the naked eye, so that shape-comparison between puzzle pieces and depressions in order to find a perfect fit would be impractical and almost impossible to the young child;
• a puzzle piece of a puzzle layer which is item 1, shaped irregularly, but identically to a second puzzle piece on an associative puzzle layer which is item 2, which carries the complemental associative name or word for the image on the first item, while the said irregular shape of both the said pieces follow the outline of the image depicted on the first item, which facilitates observation and association of the indicia which develops reading skills, but a puzzle which is free of any mathematical connotation;
• a puzzle with printed indicia on the front and reverse, causing both sides to be self-correcting puzzles, with or without one or two trays or “lids” to hold the puzzle pieces together;
• a puzzle model with two or more layers of puzzle in the same model, where the layers & pieces of successive deeper layers are designed to be cut progressively smaller in overall size, so that individual loose pieces of deeper layers are readily removable and do not get stuck under substrate overhangs from layer/s above;
• a puzzle model consisting of two or more layers of puzzles, where the degree of complexity in building the layers start reasonably simple at the top layer, but get progressively more complex towards the deepest layer, and which have no mathematical connotation;
• any puzzle or educational aid using a known fruit or vegetable which grows in bunches e.g. grapes, cherries, berries or bananas to develop and convey the concept of complex, multi-digit numbers, where a bunch of ten grapes would reference the digit “1” in 18, and a piece with 8 loose grapes will reference the digit “8”;
• a series of puzzles which is progressing in complexity and scope from one puzzle theme to the next, initially meeting and subsequently following, advancing and accelerating the young child's cognitive development from birth and foundation phase to the higher school grades;
• a puzzle or learning aid or educational aid which consists of more than one puzzle layer with indicia stacked vertically in which one or more of the layers consist of images or pictures with descriptions and/or colour coded legends and/or names and/or words and/or concepts of human trends or any other subject on them represented as, e.g., different maps of the same area superimposed on one another, for example the different maps of Africa showing political states, height above sea level, vegetation, climatic regions, population density etc., but a puzzle which is free from a mathematical connotation.
