Construction game with balls and rings

The invention is a fun game which asks the player to find the solution or the solutions of building a vertical "tower", using balls of different diameters, supported in the structure of the tower by rings positioned on the same vertical axle at different heights. The solution of the game means filling up the whole imaginary cylinder made from rings of the game, the base of the tower and the top-ring with the balls of the game, through the successive laying of the rings and balls (in the inner space of the rings). The difficulty to find the solution, building the tower from the game balls until it passes the top-ring, consists in the big number of ways which appear in the construction because of the number of balls in sets of different diameters and the number of the sets of the tower's legs of different heights. The number of possible combinations, results from the number of different diameters of the balls and the number of different heights of the legs on each level of the tower, it can be increased or decreased from design and output process to change the difficulty of the game. Any of the ways of fabrication of the game will have a fixed number of sets of different legs and a fixed number of legs of the same height in each set, a fix number of rings with the same inner diameter, a fixed number of sets of different balls and a fixed number of balls of the same diameter in each set. With this data and with the specification that the supporting rings have the same inner diameter, equal to the diameter of the tower's base, the player must build the game in such way that every added ball is supported at its base from the tower's base or upon other balls and held in by a ring. Any wrong way of building it is if the balls on any level fall through the middle of the rings. Even if the first couple of levels are stable that does not mean that the whole tower can be built. The limited number of balls with the same diameter makes the game harder to ...
