Abstract
A peg arrangement puzzle is made up of a puzzle body, a plurality of peg members moveable on the puzzle body, a peg track on the puzzle body. The peg track includes a first loop with a plurality of first loop positional nodes, a second loop with a plurality of second loop positional nodes, and one or more intersection nodes at an intersection of the first loop and the second loop. A peg movement mechanism moves peg members in the first loop and second loop. A peg member at an intersection node can be selectively moved along the first loop to any first loop positional node or along the second loop to any second loop positional node. The peg arrangement puzzle can be solved by positioning the plurality of peg members in a desired arrangement.
