Instructions
You have been chosen for a top secret mission. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is
to work with “sketches” of suspicious characters from a highly classified file that only the CIA
(and you!) has access to. The characters are all part of a family of dangerous secret agents, but
the deadliest family member of all has never been sketched. Your task is to deduce what the
missing agent looks like. You’ll do this by arranging the existing family sketches into a pattern so
that the identity of the missing family member is revealed.
*If you don’t solve this puzzle by the end of class, this sheet will self-destruct!
