A deductive reasoning puzzle implementing a polyform set of jigsaw-styled puzzle pieces, to be arranged via matching according to constraints set forth in given schematic cards. Best solved through a systematic process of elimination. Serves educational, developmental, and entertainment purposes.

1. A deductive reasoning puzzle which implements physical manipulatives or the dynamic digital representation thereof, which said manipulatives consist of dual feature “connections” or pairings placed together on one piece (two ends being matchable in a way, such as color-matchable, number-matchable, geometrically-matchable or connectable, or other types of matching techniques), which said manipulatives represent all possible ten combinations or sixteen permutations of the features, in which said manipulatives are to be connected, matched, or otherwise arranged together relative to one another according to constraints provided in either visual schematics, written descriptions, or other possible representations of constraints.

2. The deductive reasoning puzzle according to claim 1 in which schematics rely upon the pairing of individual pieces into groups of two (if total set represents possible permutations) up to groups of four (if total set represents possible combinations) via any practical means, such as color-coding, number combinations, letter combinations, shape combinations, etc.

3. The deductive reasoning puzzle according to claim 1 in which pieces are to be arranged linearly or nearly linearly, or in other words, in which the pieces do not connect on the two terminal ends of the entire connected or arranged set.

4. The deductive reasoning puzzle according to claim 1 in which pieces are to be arranged or connected in a fully continuous manner, whether a circle or other shape, symmetrical or asymmetrical.
