Stick puzzle
Stick puzzles use sets of 'polysticks' (essentially one-dimensional objects) which have to be assembled into two- or three-dimensional configurations.

Polysticks are configurations of joined or unjoined thin (ideally one-dimensional) 'sticks'. The sticks may be matchsticks, or pieces of straw, wire or similar.
A special (and very old) class of stick puzzles are 'matchstick puzzles', where all parts used are sticks (usually matchsticks) rather than polysticks. Some (trick-)puzzles can only be solved when one assumes that the sticks actually have measurements in more than one dimension.
Examples of stick puzzles

gollark: Evil idea #12591250125: turn on veinmining on stone.
gollark: Do you plan to also make your own `type` and `==`? Because that would be neat.
gollark: Also, *how* is it based on Linux?
