Abstract
A block set including a first block having a first and second cubic recess, the first and second cubic recess being diagonally opposed and the convergence points of the first and second cubic recesses being located along a common axis which is arranged a 45° angle relative to each of three orthogonal surfaces that define the first cubic recess and each of three orthogonal surfaces that define the second cubic recess. The block set also including a second cubic block adapted to be at least partially receivable within the first and second recesses of the first block.
