possible ways to insert it, only one of which is

it sideways. Ah, the designer thought of that. A little
study shows that the case really isn't square: it's
rectangular, so you can't insert a longer side. I try
backward. It goes in only part of the way. Small

from being inserted backward or upside down: of the
eight ways one might try to insert it, only one is
correct, and only that one will fit. An excellent
design.
