Pictured below is Mrs. Cluttering's new knickknack cabinet, six shelves high with six cubbyholes on each shelf. On display are three kinds of knickknacks that Mrs. Cluttering collects: glass animals, brass bells, and ceramic candlesticks. There's one knickknack in each cubbyhole, and Mrs. Cluttering likes to be sure that each horizontal row, each vertical column, and each long diagonal contains exactly two of each item. Can you tell what is in each cubbyhole of the cabinet?
