3X3 Impossible Slide Puzzle

This is a 3X3 Impossible Slide Puzzle. This is a relatively easy puzzle to solve, although this variation has a twist from the normal design of this puzzle. The puzzle is double-sided so that no matter how many times you solve one side, you can always flip the puzzle over and have an unsolved side. The objective of the image side of this puzzle is to organize the pieces into a uniform, geometric shape. The objective of the number side of this puzzle is to organize the numbers in descending order or ascending order.
