Hmm. That's not what I was thinking, but it sounds cool to me! :)
I was thinking more about repeated sections (once the instructions show how to
build the first floor, and floors 2 through 10 are duplicates of 1, don't show
details on 2 - 10), and mirrored sections (don't show it separately, just say
do it again, mirrored!), and placing more pieces per step. Stuff like that.
Following through on the puzzle thought -- print one side of each brick with a
picture, and make it a real jigsaw puzzle (without a real jigsaw, of course!)
