Writing instructions as to program a human. This project is inspired following the instructions below:

“Collect large/medium/small scraps of material or garbage. Using your choice of bounding, stick the pieces. Together to form a 12/6/3-inch tall and wide sphere. Pick a medium in a bright color, and color the sphere. (Above instructions were repeated three times with the changes separated by slashes.)

Now, stick the spheres on top of each other, and somehow attach them together.”
