Abstract:
A puzzle comprising:a plurality of planar elements and a main core member, wherein:when the plurality of planar elements are assembled in a correct order then the planar elements together define a recognisable three-dimensional figure;the plurality of planar elements comprise at least first and second sub-groups of planar elements;the first sub-group of planar elements are for assembly on the main core member and each of the first sub-group of planar elements has an aperture therethrough and the main core member in the assembled puzzle extends through the apertures in the planar elements of the first sub-group;the assembled three-dimensional figure comprises a plurality of separately identifiable components;one of the components is defined totally by the second sub-group of planar elements, the second sub-group of planar elements when assembled together defining the shape of the said component;the component defined by the second sub-group of planar elements is identifiable separately from the remainder of the assembled puzzle; andseveral of the second sub-group of planar elements have non-planar exterior surfaces which at least in part lie adjacent to and are surrounded by surfaces of several planar elements of the first sub-group of planar elements.
