Abstract

Cleaning up building blocks after playing with them can feel like a chore—but if you try out different ways to pack them, you might discover something surprisingly fun. Instead of lining up the blocks with the edges of the box as usual, you can try arranging them diagonally, like on the right side of the figure above. You might be surprised how neatly they fit.
