In Chapter 1, it was shown that plane dissection puzzles have much greater recreational potential when the same set of puzzle pieces assembles into many different problem shapes. The only three-dimensional puzzles described thus far having this property have been a couple of the cubic block types that form different rectangular solids and the Squirrel Cage burr set. Dissections between two different common geometrical solids present horrendous difficulties and in most cases have been proven impossible. Yet the search goes on for three-dimensional puzzles that not only assemble into different geometrical shapes but also interlock. Two designs that partially succeed are given in this chapter.
