Abstract
Puzzles characterized by colored pieced with unique shapes. The unique shapes of the pieces include more than one polygonal shape. The pieces can be jointly assembled into a tiling configuration in various ways allowing for large number of solutions. The puzzle pieces are placed on a flat board with a frame which matches the edges of the various pieces. The puzzle pieces can be jointly assembled to the frame. The object of the puzzle is to fill the board with all the pieces while following specific color restriction rule and predefined starting point.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A puzzle comprising a multiplicity of planar pieces wherein:
a. Each of piece has a polygonal contour b. The multiplicity of pieces have more than one polygonal contour c. The planer side of each piece is evenly colored d. The pieces can be jointly assembled into tiling configuration e. The tiling configuration creates a polygonal tiling area f. A tiling area perimeter is shaped to that it may be jointly assembled to the pieces. g. The positions of the pieces obey a predefined color rule with respect to the tiling area.
2 . The puzzle according to claim 1 wherein stationary squares are embedded onto the tiling area and create a grid of rows and columns in which the pieces can be placed in.
3 . The puzzle according to claim 2 wherein the color rule demands that no two or more pieces of the same color may be positioned on the same row or column.
4 . The puzzle according to claim 3 wherein the puzzle shapes are selected from a group consisting of a diamond-shaped piece, right-handed windmill and left-hand windmill.
5 . The puzzle according to claim 3 the tiling area has a rectangular shape.
6 . The puzzle according to claim 3 wherein there are 25 puzzle pieces.
7 . The puzzle according to claim 1 wherein stationary hexagons are embedded onto the tiling area allowing for placement of up to six pieces around each such hexagon.
8 . The puzzle according to claim 7 wherein the color rule demands that no two or more pieces of the same color may be positioned in adjacent to a stationary hexagon.
9 . The puzzle according to claim 8 wherein the puzzle shapes are selected from a group consisting of three-legged star, hexagon and an arrow.
10 . The puzzle according to claim 8 wherein the tiling area has a hexagonal shape.
11 . The puzzle according to claim 8 wherein the tiling area has a triangular shape.
12 . The puzzle according to claim 10 wherein there are 24 puzzle pieces.
13 . The puzzle according to claim 1 wherein stationary squares and rectangles are embedded onto the tiling area and create a limitation to where pieces may be placed.
14 . The puzzle according to claim 13 wherein the color rule demand that no two or more pieces of the same color may be positioned such that one or more of their facets are adjacent.
15 . The puzzle according to claim 14 wherein the puzzle shapes are selected from a group consisting of squares and rectangular with various lengths and widths.
16 . The puzzle according to claim 14 wherein the tiling area has a square shape.
17 . The puzzle according to claim 14 wherein the tiling area has a rectangular shape with square alcoves.
18 . The puzzle according to claim 1 wherein the planar pieces have two different colors for each planar face.
19 . The puzzle according to claim 1 wherein some of the said pieces are to be set in a predefined arrangement according to a described starting configuration.
20 . The puzzle according to claim 1 wherein solution and progression to the solution is being performed by more than one person.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
