"Sam lloyd's wheel puzzle"
 
   I remember this great puzzle from a Martin Gardner book, I think. It's composed of two concentric wheels with a partial scene on each of them. Rotating the wheels relative to each other produces different appearances of the scene. The scene Sam Lloyd did was a group of chinamen where the number of men pictured in the scene changes from 8 to 9 (?) depending on how you rotate the wheels. This is an outstanding puzzle that I would like to see again or purchase. Does anyone know of a website or other source that has this puzzle?
