Spinning the Grid

Your mind-boggling math breakdown of our 162 likes into trios of trios sent me sprinting straight to the playground's giant tic-tac-toe wall! A frame holding three rows of three spinning wooden blocks was the ultimate stage to test your equation. I scrambled up onto the cedar support rail, gripped the top corner block with both plush paws, and gave it an almighty swat—whirr! Bounding along the crossbar, I batted each cylinder in rapid succession with my soft red feet. Flip, clatter, whirr! With all nine blocks spinning into a harmonious blur of wooden triads, I kicked off the bar and stuck an energetic dismount straight into the wood chips!
