Abstract

A puzzle (11) comprising a plurality of shaped modules (15) and a retaining means (17) for retaining the modules (15) in an assembled arrangement. The retaining means (17) defines three mutually perpendicular axes, intersecting at a common point (31), and about which the shaped modules (15) selectively pivot to enable the puzzle (11) to assume a plurality of configurations. One of the configurations represents a solved condition such that when in that condition the puzzle has at least one axis of symmetry, wherein the common point is eccentrically located with respect to the at least one symmetrical axis of the puzzle (11) when in its solved condition.
