Abstract

A novel and amusing spherical puzzle comprising a spherical puzzle body (a) with strip grooves of equal width surrounding the sphere perpendicularly crossing at the center of the top, bottom, front, back, right and left faces of the spherical body, and a number of puzzle forming cones (b) having a square plane profile with sides of the length in intimate contact with the grooves of the puzzle body, a plain face formed on the convex spherical surface of the same plane as the spherical surface of the body (a) and the thickness capable of engaging with the grooves. The cones (b) engage with the grooves to intimately contact between the upper edge of the cone (b) and the upper edge of the groove wall and to intimately contact between the upper edge of the other cone (b) and the upper edge of the adjacent cone (b). Thus, the cone (b) is slidably inserted into the groove without dropping from the groove of the body (a).
