Abstract
A three-dimensional puzzle comprising a plurality of cuboid puzzle blocks together forming a predetermined three-dimensional puzzle shape, wherein each puzzle block comprises either a male or a female connecting element on each of at least three sides of the puzzle block; wherein the connecting elements for the respective puzzle block are configured such that each puzzle block is unique.
Claims18
A three-dimensional puzzle comprising a plurality of puzzle blocks together forming a predetermined three-dimensional puzzle shape, each puzzle block comprising either a male or a female connecting element facing at least three different directions of the puzzle block, the directions of the connecting elements being selected from an orthogonal coordinate system;
- wherein the connecting elements of the respective puzzle block are configured such that each puzzle block is unique and wherein each connecting element has a shape selected from a group comprising at least three different male connecting elements and at least three corresponding different female connecting elements.
Method for configuring a three-dimensional puzzle comprising a plurality of puzzle blocks together forming a predetermined three-dimensional puzzle shape, wherein each puzzle block comprises either a male or a female connecting element facing at least three different directions of the puzzle block;
- wherein the connecting elements for the respective puzzle block are configured such that each puzzle block is unique, and wherein each connecting element has a shape selected from a group comprising at least three different male connecting elements and at least three corresponding different female connecting elements, the method comprising:
- selecting a first puzzle block for a first position of a first layer;
- subsequently configuring adjacent puzzle blocks so that each puzzle block has at least one male or female connector corresponding to a connector of at least one an adjacent previous block, thereby forming a three-dimensional puzzle comprising n×m×I puzzle blocks, n, m and I being integers.
