In all my years of life I've never found myself having hate in my heart for anyone, that has changed. I now hope that uncomfortable steps on ever Lego block ever made bare foot, I hope his milk is both iced over and lumpy, that every doorknob he touches is suspiciously wet, and that he runs out of toilet paper mid poo. This was my second attempt at rotating them, I'm moving on to the next exercise before doing the box challenge, because clearly it's needed.
This subreddit doesn't allow single exercises or partial work, as explained here. You can get feedback on individual exercises on the discord chat server though, and the folks there would be happy to help you out. For the subreddit, we're pushing students to post complete lesson work.
That said, your wishes have been noted, and I'll set my milk out on the counter for now, and put it in the freezer later.
There are three quick things I can recommend for this exercise:
Make sure that you follow all of the steps - it looks like you're missing this one at the very least, where we block in some quick squares on the ends of the major axes. This wasn't present when the exercise was first added years ago, but we found that having students do this helped them better recognize that they had a fuller range of rotation to cover. Rather than covering the full 180 degree range of rotation, you're falling far short of that.
As explained here and here, this exercise relies heavily on keeping tight, specific gaps between neighbouring boxes, so that each one can use adjacent edges as hints, rather than relying on guesswork for every individual box.
Don't extend your boxes so far back, follow what's shown in the demonstration a little more closely in that regard.
This exercise is very difficult, and we do not expect students to actually be able to complete it successfully at this stage, but it is integral that students read through and follow the instructions as closely as they can, ensuring that they not skip any steps. Normally I would recommend that, as you stated, you just continue on from here, but in your case since you did miss some instructions, you may want to take one more swing at it before continuing on.
Thank you for responding and I'll look into the discord for feedback. I'll give this exercise one more go just to see the results of it, but I will point out that in my first attempt I did use those boxes and it made no lick of difference, honestly the second one is a lot better than the first one without the guides.
I'm going to give this a third try because I honestly didn't read through this exercise because the blocks of texts were way too big and off-putting for a natural born skimmer like me, but I'll try to get through to give it the "good ol college try"
I'd like to tell you that you don't have to put your milk out and freeze it, but feelings have been hurt and emotional damage has been struck. So in the meantime suffer through the frozen milky chunks, respectfully
