The first example shown in Fig. 117 is directly analogous to the Augmented Four Corners Puzzle and has the appearance of four mutually intersecting hexagonal prisms. The six dissimilar puzzle pieces assemble one way only with but one sliding axis. The triangular pattern in the hexagonal faces can be accentuated by using a contrasting wood for the permutated blocks.
