                  neatly into the case.

                  To complicate matters, the blocks are dotted with
                  holes and protruding studs, so you'll need to make
                  sure the studs on one side slot into the holes on the
                  other side, or you won't be able to close the case.
                  
    Solution    - 1. Flip top right piece upside down and place on top
