QuestionI can solve 1 through 12, but when I go on to the last row, 13 is at the end, and 14 and 15 are at the front. What am I doing wrong?Community AnswerIn that case, you have to do part three all over again. If you follow the steps, 13 has to be at the bottom of 9, and 14 has to be at the bottom of 10.
