Abstract
A logical puzzle including a plurality of elements stackable atop one another. Each element comprises pegs of varied lengths and apertures dimensioned to receive pegs therethrough. When all elements are properly stacked and oriented relative to one another, the apertures form passages permitting the reception of pegs, thus forming a substantially solid structure. By lifting elements and placing them in a random order a state of disorder is produced. The objective now is to restore the original state of order by stacking elements atop one another and by their suitable relative orientation in order to form a substantially solid structure. Although there are a multitude of incorrect ways to arrange puzzle elements only one correct arrangement allows them to form a substantially solid structure.

A puzzle comprising:
- a base element having
- a plurality of pegs of varied lengths extending upwardly from said base element;
- a top element, having
- a plurality of pegs of varied length extending downwardly from said top element;
- a plurality of game elements, each of said game element having a plurality of apertures dimensioned to receive said pegs therethrough;
- the object of said puzzle being to stack said game elements and said top element in a unique order atop said base element and to position said game elements in unique rotational positions so as to align said apertures and allow thereby the passage of said pegs therethrough in order to form a substantially solid structure.

- a plurality of game elements, each of said game elements having a plurality of pegs of varied lengths, extending either upwardly or downwardly from said game elements;
- each of said game elements further having a plurality of apertures dimensioned to receive said pegs therethough;
- the object of said puzzle being to stack said game elements in a unique order atop said base element and to position said game elements in unique rotational positions so as to align said apertures and allow thereby the passage of said pegs therethrough to form a substantially solid structure.
