Type-3: INTERLOCKING SOLIDS

These are puzzles that interlock. There are 5 sub-types:
 (A) Figures: These are puzzles that are shaped like an animal,
       a car, a boat, etc
 (B) Geometric: These are geometric shapes (cube, sphere, etc)
 (C) 3-D Jigsaws: These are puzzles that are like a jigsaw puzzle,
       but 3-dimensional.
 (D) Burrs: These are usually made of wood, and are somewhat
       geometric but differ from (B) above.  I'm not sure how
       to define these, but you know them when you see them.
 (E) Keychain: These are basically figures like in (A) but are 
       small and on a keychain.
