Claim:
1. A three-dimensional puzzle or display platform comprising a centroid and a tessellated surface of pieces about the centroid, each piece comprising a top and sides, and the pieces comprising a plurality of types of fixed pieces selected from (i) square form pieces, (ii) triangular form pieces, (iii) integrated square form and triangular form pieces, and (iv) one or more of (i) to (iii), and a plurality of moveable pieces selected from (a) square form pieces, (b) triangular form pieces, (c) rectangular form pieces, and (d) one or more of (a) to (c), and wherein the tessellated surface of pieces about the centroid is formed from a combination of fixed and moveable pieces with the proviso that if the fixed piece is a square form piece then the moveable pieces are selected from any one of (a) to (d), if the fixed piece is a triangular form piece then the moveable pieces are selected from (a) and/or (c), if the fixed piece is an integrated square form and triangular form piece then the moveable pieces are selected from (a) and/or (c), and wherein the fixed pieces are fixed to the centroid by an anchoring mechanism that allows substitution of fixed pieces by each other, wherein the anchoring mechanism allows rotation of each fixed piece about its axis, and wherein the square form piece is fixed, the fixed square form piece having sides defining a retention mechanism, the retention mechanism including at least a portion of each side surface extending over the other pieces, and, defining a plurality of channels that extends across the centroid surface through the surface area not occupied by those pieces that are anchored.
