Aldous's Bedroom floor box
Prerequisites
Reach Waking Up Aldous and inspect the patterned box.
📜 Show hint

Each edge describes the pattern that must face it; the side slots can hold pieces temporarily.

✉ Exact answer

Exact answer

Match the outer guides: chevrons at the top, diagonal stripes at the left, vertical stripes at the right and waves at the bottom. Use the side staging slots while cycling pieces with the wheel.

Judge a piece against its destination edge, rather than against whichever neighbour currently touches it. The staging slots let the wheel move remaining pieces while a matched piece is held aside. Opening the box supplies the shave tool; waking Aldous alone does not supply it.

✓ Accepted result

The box opens and provides the razor.
