Abstract
A three-dimensional puzzle cube that offers multiple solutions, each presenting multiple composite images. The composite images are assembled by appropriately arranging individual blocks of the puzzle cube. The blocks are not interconnected, but free to be arranged in a manner required to display the images. The picture puzzle cube generally entails a three-dimensional array of blocks that are arrangeable to form a number of the composite images. The picture puzzle cube has six composite faces defined by the three-dimensional array of blocks, each composite faces being formed by a two-dimensional array of the blocks. Each block has six faces, each face having a fragmentary image of one of the composite images. Six composite images are visible on the six composite faces of the picture puzzle cube at any give time, with the picture puzzle cube having multiple solutions in which a given combination of six composite images are visible.
