This puzzle allows three different movements:
1. Each layer can be rotatd independently from the others.
2. The two halves of the puzzles can be moved against each other like the Diogenes or Tony Fisher's Sliding Puck.
3. The two halves can be rotated against each other.
The latter two movements are shown in the images 2-3.
This unusual mechanisms allows the puzzle to create some nice patterns.
