Inside front cover:
The Girl Genius Block Puzzle
Cut out the four "T" shaped pieces (two on the inside front cover and two on the inside back) and fold each one into a cube—so that you have four cubes. Folding will be easier if you score the back of the paper along the fold lines with a sharp craft knife, but be careful not to cut too deeply—you don't want to cut all the way through. Glue the tabs of each cube to the inside—this will be easiest if you do them in order starting with Tab 1.
For a more solid puzzle, you can glue the panels to a cube of wood or foam, but make sure you get each picture in its proper place—no shifting them around to make solving the puzzle easier!
Inside back cover:
Now that you've built your puzzle—take the four cubes and line them up in a single straight row so that each side of that row contains one of each of the four pictures—Girl Genius Logo, Agatha, Krosp and Airship Fleet (not necessarily in that order). We have it on good authority that this is supposed to be reasonably challenging, but then, said authority probably never met our Sparky readers.
You can tell the folks at Kinko's that permission is granted to make a copy of these four puzzle pieces for PERSONAL NON-PROFIT puzzle-making use ONLY!
