The museum curator is talking to the other staff: "The mysterious thief has brought back our museum's precious statue. I'm trying to put it back in the deepest part of the warehouse so it can never be stolen again, but with so much other stuff in the way, it's proving rather difficult. Can anyone give me a hand?" Shift the crates around the warehouse, and get the statue back into the far-left alcove.

Where you find it
Open The Puzzle Keeper's House in Layton's Challenges after solving Puzzles 001–147.
Before you open a hint
Keep the two large rectangular crates moving as a pair when opening a corridor. Do not rotate crates. Restart before using the lettered move list.
Hints, one at a time
These are the game's own hints, word for word from the North American version and in the same order. Open only the next one you need. In the game, Hints 1 to 3 cost one hint coin each and the Super Hint costs two.
Hint 1
This taxing puzzle takes no fewer than 101 moves to complete, but don't despair!
Your first step is to move the two little vertical rectangular crates into the alcove on the far left. Eventually, you'll want to put a square crate in that alcove, though, so start working toward that goal.
Hint 2
Did you get a square crate into the alcove on the left?
Your next goal is to shift the two large, rectangular crates to the left side. Keep pushing and shoving with that aim in mind.
Hint 3
Once you've shifted the large, rectangular crates so that they both stand on the left, it's almost time to start moving the statue.
It'll want to slide out and then work its way left via the top. In the meantime, you can fit the two small, vertical, rectangular crates into the exit space on the far right.
Super Hint
When you finally move the statue into its place, the crates are positioned like so: The two short, vertical crates are on the far right. Both long, narrow crates are in the top right, and below them is a large, rectangular crate. One square crate is to the left of the long, narrow ones, and below it lies the other big, rectangular crate. Under that is one little, horizontal crate. The other horizontal crate is on the top left, and on the bottom left is a square one.
Answer and full solution
The answer and the worked explanation are hidden below. Open them when you are ready.
Show the answer
Move statue D into the far-left alcove using the list below. The labels A–K identify the same physical pieces throughout the solution; they do not change when a piece moves.
Each distance is measured in the smallest grid squares. When a line contains two directions, slide the same piece through both parts of that route. The list groups consecutive moves of one piece, so its 101 numbered lines are not a claim about the game's move counter or a minimum number of drags.
