There are many ways to do it. There is a very simple secret to doing it. But if you try to solve it without giving it a little extra thought...without first seeing the secret... FRUSTRATION!
|

...but very simple math.
You can learn
a simple trick that will let you put the blocks in the block.(Drag

Imagine that the three long, thin pieces are connected, like a snake, at their ends with two pieces of thread. But seeing the secret for yourself is far more satisfying. And it gives you something of value. Think first, ask questions
later.
