The Dislocated Scorpius Puzzle has a direct analogy in the Dislocated Jupiter Puzzle, with one arm of each puzzle piece being exchanged with its mating half. This puzzle is more complicated than the Jupiter. It has at least two distinctly different mechanical solutions. Color symmetry problems are also possible. Some of the details of these remain to be worked out. One of the 12 identical puzzle pieces is shown in Fig. 159.
