Select the desired puzzle from the main menu by simply pressing
the key corresponding to the highlighted menu item.
Once you have selected a puzzle:
S - will scramble the picture
N - will toggle sound off and on

Use the arrow keys to either:
Move the "star" to the row or column to change, or
Move the current column up, down, right or left
Play with the arrow keys - you'll get the hang of it.
You may rescramble, toggle noise or return to the Main menu at any
time while playing the puzzle.
Have fun.
Hints for Play
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
These puzzles are not easy. There are, however, a couple of rules that help:
1. Study the position of the peices before you begin.
2. Reassenble the picture from the center outward.
3. Do not give up.
