{{spoiler|Answer: The ratio of sky to cloud is 6:4. There are a total of eight squares which have both sky and cloud. Each of these squares is the same as one of the others, but with inverted colors, so the sky versus cloud ratio is even among these 8 squares. However, there's still two squares that are entirely sky, which needs to be added to the ratio.}}

Move the lower yellow block to the right and up so that it touches the blue block, then move another blue block from the trash can up and to the left. Move the right yellow block into the trash can and the left yellow block to where the other yellow block was. Now move the garbage down and move a blue block into the space the garbage occupied. Move the garbage back up and move the blue block below it up too. Then move the top yellow block up and the lower yellow block up and left. Next, move the top yellow block down and move the blue block below the garbage on top of it. Move the garbage down and right so that it's right next to the identation. Move the left yellow block to the top and the blue block below the garbage to the left and up. Move the lower yellow block up and left and place the garbage halfway into the trash can. Move the blue block in between the yellow blocks to the position next to the identation, then move the lower yellow block up. Finally, move the garbage up, move the last blue block out of the trash can and put the garbage into the trash can.}}
