Your goal is to change the painting back to the human likeness of Stauf. There is a simple pattern to the way the lids parts of the painting change. When one of the corner squares is clicked, the three squares adjacent to it in the shape of a square flip from one picture to the next. Click on the square in the centre of the sides and all three squares on that side change. Clicking on the centre square flips the horizontally and vertically adjacent squares. The painting changes from the human Stauf to a Red Devil then to a Green Demon then back to the human Stauf.  
The aim of this puzzle is to remove all the knives except for one from the door. To remove a knife you must jump over it with another knife along the lines of the star symbol.

As the layout of the parts of the painting is random at the start there is no set solution to the problem, but try and get the parts of the paining into a symmetrical layout as this makes it easier to change them all.  
The layout of the star and the moves required to complete it are as follows. You start at six then do the following jumps:
6-1, 5-3, 8-5, 2-4, 1-7, 5-8, 9-7 and 10-7.


In some cases, you may encounter the following situations:

* To fix the center cell without affecting others, click a corner cell twice, followed by the opposite corner twice. (You could also click the four corners instead.)  Then, click the center cell.
* If you got a complete image but the wrong one, click each corner cell once, then each edge cell twice to cycle to the next image.
* If the opposite left and right cells in the middle row are mismatched, click the bottom left corner twice, then the bottom right corner once.  You can rotate this pattern for the top and bottom cells.
