Oct. 8th, 2007 02:10 amSomeday I want to have the time and the patience (and free space) to put together a 24,000 piece jigsaw puzzle. Now is not that time, clearly. (Found via the shop connected to my current favorite online time-waster, http://www.jigzone.com/)
The most frustrating puzzle I ever tried was a three-layer image of Escher's "Relativity" (this link is not the specific puzzle I'm talking about though). It was printed in black ink on clear vinyl, with different parts of the image on each layer; you worked one layer and then combined it with the others to get a 3-D effect. The phrase "PITA" doesn't begin to describe it. =) I bought it to work on with my mother, but we never got around to it and now I know for sure that a bunch of the pieces have been lost. Most annoyingly, it's in a plain white box with no manufacturer information on it whatsoever and so I can't hunt down a new copy; I remember that I bought it at the Museum Company about a decade ago, but that isn't really much help anymore since the company I believe went under several years ago. If any of you happen to run across something that sounds like this, do let me know please. I guess given the source it would've been licensed from a particular museum, but I don't have the slightest idea which one.
