Abstract

M178 P1sE LG / KOB P.ans. No. 1000395-2 S a m m a n d r a g The invention relates to a three-dimensional game for combining numbers. The game is cylindrical in shape and is formed by up to nine composite rings (1) or other geometric figures, each with a central opening and placed on a vertical tube. Each ring (l) has nine dice (2) with six sides each, a number of which are numbered from 1 to 9 and placed in 3 x 3 groups with number sides resp. that provided with the same number on all (2,3), the number of dice (3) is six sides around. Resp. ring (l) and dice arranged to be rotatable to intended positions. (Fig. 2)

Description

20 25 30 535 503 The traditional game has only one solution, while the three-dimensional game has six solutions.

The six solutions are varied from one game to another game so that each individual three-dimensional sudoku game has its own unique solution and in this way the game can become an exchange game between acquaintances.

In addition, you can make a special site on the internet where people can exchange their games with each other.

The way of solving the game and the game's appearance means that the game is also suitable as a practice and competition game. The game is unique with its combination of rings and dice as well as a combination of thinking and play.

It differs in its exciting appearance from all other three-dimensional number games (board, paper, puzzle).

It is small and compact exactly like the famous game Rubik's Cube.

The invention is described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 shows the traditional game, Fig. 2 shows the three-dimensional game, Fig. 3 shows the six solutions of the game, Figs. 4 and 5 show the outside and inside of its lid, Figs. 6 and 7 shows the two parts of the ring, Figs. 8 and 9 show the inside of the two parts of the ring, Fig. 10 shows the bottom of the game, and Fig. 11 shows the ends of a dice.

The traditional sudoku game shown in Fig. 1 is a puzzle that involves placing 10 15 20 25 30 535 503 numbers in a grid pattern. The classic, original grid pattern consists of 3 x 3 “squares” (drawers) which in turn consist of 3 x 3 squares. It is important to place the numbers 1 to 9 in such a way that each row, column and box on 3 x 3 squares contains each number exactly once.

The three-dimensional sudocus game shown in Fig. 2 is a cylindrical game composed of nine rings but which can be built of other geometric shapes such as triangles or circles. Each ring has nine dice 2.

Thus, a total of 81 dice 2 in the game.

Each dice 2 has six sides with each number from 1 to 9.

The game contains a number of given dice 3 with common numbers for all six solutions.

Example: Numbers 3 and 9 are common to all six solutions. The fewer such given dice, the more tricky the sudoku game. Each game contains six sudo ball solutions, as each dice has six sides.

Solutions can be varied from one game to another game so that each individual three-dimensional game has its own unique solution.

All dice 2 are unique with its order of numbers, ie. there is not a single dice 2 that has the same order of numbers as any other dice. The example below shows some dice 2 with its different order of numbers.

Example: Dice No. 1: 7 Dice No. 2: 5 Dice No. 3: 1 Dice No. 4: 3- 3 5 Dice No. 5: Dice No. 6: 10 15 20 25 30 535 503 There are a number of dice 2 that have the same numbers but not in the same order.

Example: Dice number 1 and dice number 24 have exactly the same numbers but not in the same order.

Dice number 1 has order: 7-4-6-8-2-1.

While dice number 24 is in order: 1-7- 4-6-8-2.

When playing, you can turn both rings 1 and dice 2.

Each ring 1 can be rotated three turns, "clicking", one third of the circumference of the ring at a time.

Each dice 2 can be rotated around all its numbered sides.

The construction of the game is cylindrical consisting of a lid, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, which is placed on the top ring 1 where each ring 1 is composed of nine dice 2.

Every third dice is placed between two corners 4 so that 3 x 3 groups of "squares" 5 are clearly formed in the game's pattern. There are nine groups in each game.

The corners can be used as finger grips when turning the rings 1.

Each ring 1 has three small springs 6 which cause the ring 1 to stop at every third of the circumference 7 of the ring.

Each ring 1 is composed of two parts, shown in Figs. 6 and 7, which are assembled together with three screw corners.

Each dice 2 has six small pieces, which are shown in Fig. 11 in the middle and which allow the dice 2 to be rotated one side at a time. Each ring 1 has an opening 8 in the middle and all the rings 1 are placed around a central vertical tube.

Inside the tube there is an elastic that extends from the lid all the way to the bottom.

The function of the elastic is to hold the entire cylinder together.

Each ring can be rotated three turns "clicks", one third of the circumference of the ring at a time.

Each dice can be rotated around all its numbered sides.

The idea of the game is to turn the dice 2 in the shortest possible time so that numbers 1 to 9 should appear once in each column, in each ring and in each group of 3 x 3 dice. You can solve the game by trying to find all numbers from 1 to 9 in a group and at the same time work column by column, ie. find all numbers from 1 to 9 in a column and circular ie. to find numbers from 1 to 9 in the rings.

Dimensions of parts in the game: The cylinder is 22.5 cm in circumference and 20.5 cm in height. The circumference of the dice is 6 cm. The side of the dice is 1 cm wide and 1 cm long.
