Meiji Black Chocolate Puzzle

I recently bought a Meiji Black Chocolate Puzzle, thinking it would be fun to play with kids, especially while waiting for our food in the restaurant. I mean, this is better than screen time, right?

Little did I know.. this puzzle is actually the harder version of the milk chocolate puzzle (which I didn't know exist). Now, THAT puzzle has lots of solutions and would be fun for kids. But this one? THIS puzzle has ONE solution (according to the YouTube video I watched, anyway).

After several hours of frustrating "why is this not working" moments, I caved in and watched the YouTube solution. For my own reference (and sanity), here's the solution. For the next time I need to clean the puzzle up quickly.

Hope this helps whoever is currently stuck and ready to give up...

And talk about proportion... the vegetables are larger than the cat and the person. Makes you wonder, isn't it?

My little brother was in elementary school, and so I took my mom's place and went with him to take his exam result back. It was nostalgic. My teachers were still teaching (people do not switch career back home). Some of my friends took up teaching. The classroom did not change much. Children were running everywhere and playing the games I used to play. It felt like I was thrown back a decade or two. Then it was time for the general assembly. Every students and teachers were gathered in a big room for placement announcement. My school have a tradition of announcing the first, second, and third placement for each class in front of a general assembly. I can't remember what my little bro's placement were. But the thing that surprised me was during the announcement for 2nd grade placements. The third place was won by a person with the exact same first name and l...
