- 4Introduction...
-
- Once upon a time, there was a kingdom named Bentangle ruled by king
- Triangulos. The king loved to play with blocks ever since he was
- introduced to them in his childhood. When his daughter, Princess Pentagwin,
- came of age to marry, King Triangulos devised a brilliant plan to select a
- worthy husband.
-
- The king called all the best masons to his castle in order to construct 17
- rooms. Blocks were placed in each room to help suitors reach the doorways,
- but the rooms were constructed in such a way that great ingenuity would be
- required to complete them.
-
- Block-man, a commoner in Bentangle, was in love with the princess so he
- went to the castle to win her hand. After entering the king's very first
- room, Block-man became overwhelmed by the challenge ahead of him. Maybe
- you can help Block-man overcome his challenge and meet his true love.
