  • Spherical puzzle
    Patent number: 7823884
    Abstract: A spherical logical puzzle is disclosed comprising of a plurality of elements symmetrical about three axes and planes. The puzzle is solved by rotating the elements on the surface of the sphere to align a surface pattern or numerical set. The surface of sphere is divided into octants of 4 elements; 3 quarter polar sections and one shell section. These surface elements are rearranged by rotating hemispherical sets of four octants at a time. When rotating a hemisphere of elements, the polar segments of that hemisphere do not rotate, thus creating a unique and novel puzzle.
