When I brought an early autostereogram in to school in the early '90s my high school Physics teacher refused to try it as he thought it sounded impossible. He thought we were all in on it as we 'got it' one after another.
A coin with a heads bias is more likely to land on heads no matter how it's thrown.
A coin with a same side bias is more likely to land on heads if it's thrown with heads facing up, and more likely to land on tails if thrown with with tails facing up.
It's exactly what I use "alarm clock xtreme" or whatever it's called. Math puzzle, retype or even scan barcode to stop alarm. It has been invaluable, especially as you can change difficulty, I found out even half asleep I could do basic addition etc...
It depends which items. They're not designed to be re-assembled but some pieces will re-assemble just fine. You have to be careful as it's easy to strip the screw holes e.g. in particleboard. I'd try to remove any shelves, doors, drawers, etc. and move the rest as one piece, giving it a quick tighten when you arrive.
Most of it is not meant to be disassembled at all, e.g. bookshelves with those circular cams and screws into particle board. Flat pack assembly is just a cheaper way of getting the furniture to you, if you move or sell it, keep it whole. I bought some fancier Crate & Barrel bookshelves recently that were being discontinued and the things arrived whole in wood reinforced heavy duty cardboard. They wanted C$300 or something for shipping and 2 bookshelves filled a 6.5' truck bed.
Billy are great and easy to customise to fit- I made a wall of black shelving in a bedroom and shelves for a built in closet with them (before IKEA started doing closet furntiure). I've found that they don't re-assemble well, they're never as tight after that.
