Three-dimensional logic puzzle

Abstract

A three-dimensional logic puzzle having a multiplicity of face sides wherein a final solution set is provided by forming a preliminary solution set on each of the face sides and across the face sides in a predetermined pattern.

1 . A three-dimensional (3D) logic puzzle comprising a multi-sided 3D overall shaped game device wherein each of the sides further includes a face side formed of a multiplicity of subdivided segments and wherein a final solution set is embodied when each of the face sides includes a preliminary solution set and wherein the preliminary solution set is also formed across multiple face sides, thereby providing a 3D logic puzzle game having a complex inter-sided solution. 
   
   
       2 . The puzzle of  claim 1 , wherein the preliminary solution set is formed from a single set of graphics. 
   
   
       3 . The puzzle of  claim 1 , wherein the preliminary solution set includes a series of numbers. 
   
   
       4 . The puzzle of  claim 1 , wherein the preliminary solution set includes a series of letters. 
   
   
       5 . The puzzle of  claim 1 , wherein the preliminary solution set includes a combination of colors and graphic designs. 
   
   
       6 . The puzzle of  claim 1 , wherein the preliminary solution set includes lighted elements. 
   
   
       7 . The puzzle of  claim 1 , wherein the device is shaped as a tetrahedron. 
   
   
       8 . The puzzle of  claim 7 , wherein each face side is a matching triangle. 
   
   
       9 . The puzzle of  claim 7 , wherein each face side is an equilateral triangle. 
   
   
       10 . The puzzle of  claim 7 , wherein the preliminary solution set includes a single digit number on each subdivided segment from  1  to  9 . 
   
   
       11 . The puzzle of  claim 1 , wherein the preliminary solution set includes a number on each subdivided segment. 
   
   
       12 . The puzzle of  claim 1 , wherein the preliminary solution set is selected from the group consisting of a number, graphic design, symbol, color, light, and combinations thereof on each subdivided segment. 
   
   
       13 . The puzzle of  claim 1 , wherein the final solution set exclusively contains the preliminary solution on each of the face sides and in a predetermined pattern formed across multiple face sides. 
   
   
       14 . The puzzle of  claim 1 , wherein the subdivided segments are rotationally manipulateable to move from one position to another position on the various face sides. 
   
   
       15 . The puzzle of  claim 1 , wherein the subdivided segments are static. 
   
   
       16 . A method of playing a 3D logic puzzle comprising the steps of:
 Providing a 3D shaped game device having an overall shape and matching face side shapes being formed from a multiplicity of subdivided segments juxtapositioned and equally spaced apart to form the face side shape, wherein a potential to include a preliminary solution set is provided for each side and for being formed across sides;   Moving the subdivided segments on each face side across face sides to provide a preliminary solution set on each side and in a predetermined pattern across the sides; and   Realizing a final solution set.   
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising the steps of:
 Rotationally manipulating the subdivided segments across the face sides   
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising the steps of:
 activating an illumination member associated with each of the subdivided segments across the face sides; and   selectively manipulating the illumination member to create the solution sets.   
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising the steps of:
 activating an illumination member associated with each of the subdivided segments across the face sides; and   selectively manipulating the illumination member to create the solution sets. cycle through options by selectively applying pressure on the face side surface associated with a segment.
