  • a “pentagonal rotunda” represents one half of the spherical shaped icosidodecahedron that is counter-rotated as one unit consisting of 16 adjacent pieces that include 6 pentagons and 10 triangles,
  • a “tile” is used herein to refer to a puzzle piece that can be moved or manipulated to solve the puzzle herein. A list of components will now be described.
  • the invention has many different levels of difficulty depending on which end setting goal the player is attempting to achieve. Most prior art puzzles in this category have only one goal and one level of difficulty. Once the player learns to solve Rubik’s Cube ®, there is no additional logic that must be learned. Many of the alternative solution settings of the invention require new skills and discovering new algorithms.
  • the player can easily disassemble the puzzle and assemble it back into predefined pattern or solved position from which it is possible to learn and develop strategies by repeating and remembering different sets of steps.
  • the game is less rigid, more creative and gives the player more choices in achieving goals than the prior art games in this category.
  • icosidodecahedron geometry One of the specific features of icosidodecahedron geometry is that it can be achieved by overlapping six equally angled equatorial cross sections in such a way that they divide a sphere into equally sized 12 pentagons and 20 triangles as shown in Figures 7B, 7C, 7D, 7E, 7H and 7G.
  • This puzzle utilizes equatorial cross sections of icosidodecahedron as its means of providing boundaries for moving tiles from one location to another.

  • the six axes of rotation are formed by rotating the sphere along six different equators.
  • the first challenge for the player is to overcome the confusion caused by the additional directions that user may not be accustomed to.
  • each rotation of the invention puzzle pieces causes a change in position of half of the puzzle pieces vs. Rubik’s Cube ®where each rotation affects only one third of the puzzle pieces.
  • the assembled invention puzzle has a ball shape that is approximately 2 inches to approximately 3 and a half inches in diameter; the ball shape is more comfortable to hold in hands than an angular cube based three-dimensional puzzle and because of this it provides a better esthetic experience.
  • Puzzle pieces such as 3 of Figures 3A - 3G and puzzle piece 4 of Figures 4 A - 4H are made of injection molded plastic or other suitable puzzle construction materials to form rigid pieces in a desirable shape.
  • the face of each puzzle piece 3, 4, can be textured, rough, smooth, convex, or concave to provide different aesthetic handling experiences for the player.
  • puzzle piece 3 is in the shape of an equilateral triangle with blunted or rounded edges on the face 30. Rounded edges of the pieces are helpful in reducing collisions occurring during and after miss-aligned rotations.

  • the grooves above and below the protrusions of the puzzle piece 3 provide channels through which the protrusions of the pair of pieces 3 can pass each other during the rotations while preventing them from being dislodged.
  • a bottom holding magnet 37 that is attracted to and is removably attached to a ferromagnetic spherical center during the assembly and mechanical operation of the puzzle pieces 3 and 4.
  • Puzzle piece 4 has an equilateral pentagon shape with blunted or rounded edges on the face 40 as shown in Fig. 4B.
  • the top portion of piece 4 is embedded with five ferromagnetic inserts 41a, 41b, 41c, 41d, 41e, one of each side of the pentagonal piece. These ferromagnetic inserts attract and secure the top section of the three positioning magnets 31a, 31b, 31c of puzzle piece 3.
  • FIG. 5B For a stronger magnetic attraction (Fig. 5B) an alternative method can be used for puzzle piece 4; instead of ferromagnetic inserts, magnets can be used. Those magnets 41a(-), 41b(-), 41c(-), 41d(-), 41e(-) should have opposite outer magnetic polarity to magnets used on triangular pieces (+), 31b(+), 31c(+).
  • interlocking groove 43 (shown in Figures 4A - 4F) that receives and engages the interlocking protrusion 33 of puzzle piece 3.
  • a holding magnet 45 is inserted in the bottom 47 of puzzle piece 4 to removably attach puzzle piece 4 to a ferromagnetic spherical center during the assembly and mechanical operation of adjacent puzzle pieces 3 and 4.
  • Fig. 5 shows the puzzle magnetic set up detail for pieces 3 and 4. Position locking magnets 31a and 31b of puzzle piece 3 are aligned to engage with the ferromagnetic inserts 41a, 41b, 41c. In Fig. 5, locking magnet 31a of puzzle piece 3 is attracted to ferromagnetic insert 41a of puzzle piece 4. This causes the further alignment of interlocking protrusion 33 of puzzle piece 3 with interlocking groove 43 of puzzle piece 4. The bottom holding magnets 37 and 45 of puzzle piece 3 and 4, respectively rest securely and are held in place on the ferromagnetic spherical center 50.
  • Fig. 6 shows two half spheres of the icosidodecahedron puzzle and the arrangement of puzzle pieces 3 and 4 wherein the triangular puzzle piece 3 is adjacent to pentagonal puzzle piece 4 on all sides of the pentagon.
  • Figures 7A shows the counter-rotation of the half spheres also known as the pentagonal rotunda bout axis 1 which is vertical and axis 2 which is diagonal.
  • Figures 7B -7G show the rotation axes and cross section directions of the half spheres that allow pieces to be moved around. All axes and rotation directions are shown using the same perspective view.
  • Fig. 8A is instructional for a user to determine how to move the pentagonal pieces as indicated by A, C, F, and H and movement of triangular pieces as shown by puzzle pieces B, D, E and G. This instructional reference applies to both two-color and four- color puzzle designs.
  • Figures 8B through 8H provide non-limiting examples and illustrations of two- color predetermined icosidodecahedron puzzle designs including, but not limited to, Basic Half and Half, Basic Zig Zag, Half and Half with Stars, Zig Zag with Stars, Zig Zag with Hollow Stars, Half and Half with Hollow Stars, and Zig Zag with Islands.
  • a player would be challenged be the first to produce the predetermined design patterns shown.
  • a player could see how fast a predetermined design pattern can be produced.

  • the invention puzzle goal is to mechanically move all the tiles or puzzle pieces to one of the predetermined configurations of pentagons and triangles that together make the sphere.
  • Different puzzle goals require different strategies and as such they represent varying levels of difficulties.
  • Moving the tiles or puzzle pieces is by rotating sections of the puzzle pieces along different equators of the assembled icosidodecahedron puzzle
  • the first level of difficulty is the “Half and Half’ arrangement of the sphere made with tiles in two colors. This is the basic solution that a player needs to master before the player is ready for more complex goals. This half & half setting only requires moving each color tile to separate sides of the puzzle - This basic level does not require the player to make any additional positioning within each half of the sphere.
  • the 4 color tile settings will require the player to master the basic 2 color half and half setting.
  • the additional 2 colors are helpful in tracking the effects of movements and sets of movements within each hemisphere. They provide not only new goals to achieve, but also a visual feedback without which it would be much harder to understand repercussions of the rotations.
  • the basic 4 color solution is a sphere divided in half with 2 stars on opposite sides.
  • Four color versions of the puzzles are possibly easier to solve than the more complex two- color versions that require a precise location of each piece on the sphere.
  • a suggested learning path is to master the half and half two-color version and only then try the four-color two star settings. Once both levels are mastered the player is ready for the additional puzzle goals and difficulty levels.
  • the movement is accomplished by mechanically rotating half of the sphere (with 6 pentagonal and 10 triangular pieces) along one of the middle dividing lines around one of the 6 axes.
  • the rotational axes go through in the middle of each of two pentagons on opposite sides and the center of the sphere.
  • the invention puzzle can be easily disassembled and put together in any predetermined setting. This is a great feature when learning the puzzle since it allows the player to make mistakes, reassemble the puzzle and try again. This also allows a player to go between the two and the four-color versions of the puzzle.
