Abstract
A puzzle device and an associated method of using the device to construct a contiguous packed configuration are disclosed. The device comprises a generally rectangular board and a plurality of geometrically identically identical tiles. The generally rectangular board having a playing surface, in which the board includes a large hexagonal outline embossed on the playing surface of the board in which a plurality of triangles is embossed on the playing surface of the board along the perimeter of the hexagonal outline of the board. Each tile having a generally flattened hexagonal geometry wherein each tile is partitioned into a first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth triangular zones, wherein each zone being a different color than any other zone on each tile so that each tile of the plurality of tiles is unique from all other tiles. The contiguous packed configuration is constructed by adjoining together all of the tiles within the hexagonal outline in a manner so that the coloration of all of the triangular zones of each tile matches the coloration of adjacent triangular zones of adjacent tiles and matches the coloration of adjacent triangles in the board. The method of using the device comprises the steps of connecting, obtaining, laying, placing, and scattering.
