Logic puzzle

Abstract

A logic puzzle having a shaped game space with edges defining an overall shape, within which are included a plurality of shaped subsets, each having an equal multiplicity of subdivided segments or cells that collectively provide for a preliminary solution set and a final solution set, with the final solution set realized when each of the shaped subsets includes a preliminary solution set and when the preliminary solution set is also formed in a predetermined pattern across multiple shaped subsets.

1 . A logic puzzle comprising a shaped game space having edges defining an overall shape, within which are included a plurality of shaped subsets, each having a multiplicity of subdivided segments that form cells that collectively provide for at least one preliminary solution set and a final solution set, wherein the final solution set is embodied when each of the shaped subsets includes one of the at least one preliminary solution sets and wherein another preliminary solution set is formed in a predetermined pattern across multiple shaped subsets, thereby providing a logic puzzle game having a complex pattern-based solution.

       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 overall shape is a tetrahedron. 
   
   
       7 . The puzzle of  claim 6 , wherein each shaped subset is a matching triangle. 
   
   
       8 . The puzzle of  claim 6 , wherein each shaped subset is an equilateral triangle. 
   
   
       9 . The puzzle of  claim 6 , wherein the preliminary solution set includes a single digit number on each shaped subset from 1 to 9. 
   
   
       10 . The puzzle of  claim 6 , wherein the preliminary solution set includes a number, graphic design, symbol, color, or light on each subdivided segment. 
   
   
       11 . The puzzle of  claim 1 , wherein the final solution set exclusively contains the preliminary solution from each of the shaped subsets and in a predetermined pattern formed across multiple shaped subsets. 
   
   
       12 . The puzzle of  claim 1 , wherein each of the shaped subsets includes one of the at least one preliminary solution set and the another preliminary solution set is provided across a series of guidance lines that cut across multiple shaped subsets. 
   
   
       13 . The puzzle of  claim 1 , wherein the final solution set is formed within each of the shaped subsets and at the combination of the vertices of each shaped subset. 
   
   
       14 . The puzzle of  claim 1 , wherein the final solution set includes cells being included in one and only one preliminary solution set and cells being included in more than one preliminary solution set. 
   
   
       15 . A logic puzzle comprising a shaped game space having edges defining an overall shape, within which are included a plurality of shaped subsets, each having an equal multiplicity of subdivided segments that form cells that collectively provide for a preliminary solution set and a final solution set, wherein the final solution set is embodied when each of the shaped subsets includes a preliminary solution set and wherein the preliminary solution set is also formed in a predetermined pattern across multiple shaped subsets, thereby providing a logic puzzle game having a complex pattern-based solution.
