One of the charms of the simple two-dimensional dissection puzzles shown in Chapter 1 is that they construct many different simple geometrical shapes with the same set of pieces. Some of the polyhedral block puzzles in Chapters 3 and 18 construct multiple shapes but they are non-interlocking. The difficulty of achieving this feature with interlocking puzzles was demonstrated in Chapter 11 by a pair of designs that succeeded only partially. Is it possible for a set of interlocking puzzle pieces to construct many different polyhedral shapes?
