    "The Babylon Tower, sometimes called the Ivory Tower, is a sliding piece puzzle which consists of several discs stacked up into a tower, and they can rotate about a central axle. There are 6 such discs. Along the side of the tower are six columns of small balls in a pieces, in six colours. The colours in each column range from bright in the lower disc to pale in the top one. The bottom disc has a spring allowing one of two opposite balls to be pushed in, creating a gap. The balls can then slide up or down their groove from one disc to another because of the gap. By rotating the discs, the balls and the gap are moved around to the other columns.
    This puzzle was designed by Endre Pap, who also designed the Hungarian Rings."
