Puzzle

Abstract

This invention describes a puzzle comprising at least one fundamental unit. The fundamental unit comprises a cube with six faces. Each of the faces has two raised quadrants on diagonally opposite quadrants and two open quadrants on diagonally opposite quadrants. Each raised quadrant houses a bonding member. Each open quadrant houses a bonding member that will mate with and interlock with the bonding member of the raised quadrants such that the bonding member will hold a fundamental unit to another fundamental unit. This invention describes a magnetic puzzle comprising at least one fundamental unit. The fundamental unit comprises a cube with six faces and a center. Each of the faces has two raised quadrants on diagonally opposite quadrants and two open quadrants wherein the face of the cube is exposed. Each quadrant houses a recessed magnet having a south and north pole. The magnets in the raised squares are oriented so that the north pole of the magnet is facing in a direction away from the center of the cube. The magnets in the open quadrants are oriented so that the south pole of the magnet is facing in a direction away from the center of the cube.
