are these magnets? how do they stay together?

No they are not magnets. Each colored piece is a single piece. Each color is a different shape. The case has a side that is a grid of holes that the pieces lay into to stay together. This is an EXCELLENT logic game for children and adults.

No, the pieces consist in plastics' balls sticked together. The black case have the balls' form so it fit perfectly and the pieces don't go apart. For the 3D puzzle, the design of the pieces make they fit together and don't fall apart.

They are different configurations of colored balls that nestle together when you stack them. My kids love this game. They are 10, 8, & 6.

They are not magnetic. The round parts of the pieces fits into round holes in the board. They will fall out if you tip the board over.

Antonio, thanks for the question. The magnets are very strong and just in case you are not totally satisfied, write me and I'll take care of you. No worries at all.

The magnets are fairly good if the spoons are all nestled together. I keep them on my oven. But if I take a couple of spoons out to measure with, then they don't stick very well.

YES the magnets do. However, they are NOT the best magnets because I am constantly re-organizing them because they are always falling off the refrigerator.

Good question. I will conduct an experiment and let you know. I don't know how strong these are in quantitative terms but they are pretty damn strong for such tiny magnets.

Mine does not move during operation but make sure when you join the magnets that the magnets are aligned. I don't know of a better way to describe this but you can feel resistance when you join them and they are not aligned. Then, over time they will align "twisting" themselves to line up.

haven't had any problems, they just kinda fall out if you unscrew them out far enough. Since the magnet doesn't hold them attached to the screwdriver I usually either catch them in my hand or pick them up off the floor. It's a good screwdriver, but yeah, I do wish they were truly magnetized and hold on to the stupid screw. hope that helps.

I believe there must be magnets of some type that snap it together. They are not visible though.

I found they stay together and work perfectly. I didn't have a problem with them bunching up from side to side.

I believe they stay attached. And once pulled you can't pull them again. Don't do it too early

The magnets are really strong. I think they will pull off the glue. You can try stronger glue, but even then I think it's a matter of time before they pull apart. It may also depend on the size of the magnet. The larger the magnet the stronger they are. The tiniest magnets may not separate from the glue.

No they are not magnetic.They are meant to use on the base that comes with the set.

I did not measure them but what I can tell you is, I have used many magnets before but I have not used any as strong as these. With your hands, if you get them any closer than 1/2 inch apart you cannot hold them back.

I haven't had any come off the magnet. They are easy to fit together to make the gears spin & change the patterning of how they spin. I use them in my Kindergarten classroom & my kids love them! I just tried to pull it off the base and couldn't. They seem pretty sturdy.

Yes, they will be attracted to one another. That's actually a great idea...I will have to use that sometime. :-) I wouldn't recommend this product as the best magnets out there, but for your intended purposes it should work.

I tested your idea with different weight magnets (not a scientific examination of the possibilities, of course!) but, what I found is that they will hold the a magnet equal or slightly heavier than they are. This is basically the same as all the business promotion ones you get from companies hoping you'll stick their advertising or phone number to your 'fridge... all of those types hold just fine.

The magnets are strong enough to hold the chess pieces position on the board under normal playing conditions. They will not hold if a sudden jerk occurs and they will side if the board is tilted.
