Abstract

A dual-level twisty puzzle comprises a 4*4*4 outer level fully inclosing a 3*3*3 inner level inside. The inner level acts as both a puzzle itself and the support for the outer level. Guiding and holding elements and components are constructed within each level, between two levels, between inner level and core, and between outer level and core. The outer level attaches to the inner level of the puzzle, which is visible through the view openings, the inner level is held to a spherical member by 6 of shafts and minimum of 3 shafts of these 6 shafts have cam feature constructed on. Cam features pass through inner level and reach and interact with the outer level to guarantee the alignment of the outer level to the core. In order to arrange the inner level, the outer level has to be arranged, so the challenge level is greatly increased. To increase the challenge level even more, one way clutch mechanism can be applied to replace indexing mechanism.
