1. A logic puzzle comprising:
a first geometric solid having a first predetermined number of visible outer faces, the first geometric solid comprising a plurality of second geometric solids, the plurality of second geometric solids each having a second predetermined number of visible outer surfaces and each visible outer surface having a corresponding cutout structure of a plurality of cutout structures;
the second geometric solids each being rotatable within the first geometric solid such that at least one visible outer surface of each second geometric solid comprises a portion of one of the faces of the first geometric solid for at least one rotatable orientation of the plurality of second geometric solids within the first geometric solid; and
at least one tile configured to be fit in a target orientation on the at least one visible outer surface of the second geometric solid such that the tile can be removably secured during the function of the first geometric solid,
wherein the at least one tile has a corresponding shaped structure of a plurality of shaped structures which fits in the corresponding cutout structure of the second geometric solid to orient the at least one tile in the target orientation,
wherein each cutout structure of the plurality of cutout structures has a cutout shape distinct from each other and each shaped structure of the plurality of shaped structures has a shape distinct from each other, and
wherein the at least one tile is further configured to not obstruct the movement and function of the first geometric solid when fit on the at least one outer surface of the second geometric solid.
