Abstract

A three dimensional puzzle apparatus comprises a plurality of cube shaped bricks using pegs and holes to allow the cubes to be joined together in different ways. The pegs are arranged so that pegs on adjacent sides are placed together, enabling only part of one face to be attached to another cube. The cubes are coloured, and may be of one colour or more than one colour. The coloured faces must be located so that at least one quarter of the face matches an adjacent face.
