Lego Motorcycle. The toy Lego motorcycle is shown assembled {A} and in pieces {B}. It has fifteen pieces so cleverly constructed that even an adult can put them together. The design exploits constraints to specify just which pieces fit where. Physical constraints limit alternative placements. Cultural and semantic constraints provide the necessary clues for further decisions. For example, cultural constraints dictate the placement of the three lights {red, blue, and yellow} and semantic constraints stop the user from putting the head backward on the body or the pieces labeled "police" upside down.
