Somebody looking at the picture doesn't necessarily assume the sides line up; I didn't see it. This figure wouldn't stand up very well on its own though-- My version of it: set one and two down, standing on their edges (may be tricky.) put three onto the top edge, so that it pushes one away from and two towards you. About halfway down, it will look like this. continue, and you will get... ____________________ /\ /\ /\ \ / \ / \ / \ \ / \/ \/ \ \ / 1 / 3 / 2 \_______\ \ \ \ / / \ /\ /\ / / \ / \ / \ / / \/____\/____\/_______/ (I can't do a perspective view of that :(.. ) Anyway, it will be three blocks in a row, standing on their edges, in order (front to back) 2, 3, 1.
