Abstract

The three-dimensional puzzle consists of a plurality of transparent sheets on which code bits of information are arranged. When viewed in the correct direction, the code bits of information define a two-dimensional picture or object. When viewed from any other direction, the code bits appear as a jumbled image, and the hidden object is not apparent.
