contents In this paper we consider nonzero harmonic functions vanishing on some subsets of $\mathbb R^n$. We give a positive solution to Problem 151 from the Scottish Book posed by R. Wavre in 1936. In more detail, we construct a nonzero harmonic polynomial that vanishes on the edges of the unit cube. Moreover, using harmonic morphisms we build new nontrivial families of harmonic polynomials that vanish at the same set in the unit ball in $\mathbb R^n$ for all $n \geq 4$. This extends certain results by Logunov and Malinnikova. We also present new results on harmonic functions in the space whose zero sets are unions of affine codimension two subspaces.
