Nights are cooler. Winter’s coming. Time–or as close to it–
to start a jigsaw puzzle!
Yes, I’ve started the Big Ben Autumn in New England puzzle I showed
you a little bit ago. O’Half can’t find Big Ben in it . . .but isn’t it
pleasant?
Or not. I’m discovering why the people sold it at the garage sale. I wonder if they ever
put it together.
Take a closeup look at the individual pieces. Notice anything? YES! every
single piece, (every single!) has one side that’s kind of straight and wavy.
So we are losing 25% of our clues for
finding a piece–we’re losing a “knob”
or a socket on one side. That wavy side
gives very little clue.
Will I continue? Would you continue? There are 1000 pieces here, folks–
Well, I know I’ll do the blue sky—and then I’ll let you know.
While you’re waiting, see if you can guess why there is a large
red plastic spoon in the puzzle box. Big prize (ha-ha) for the
first correct guess!
Large red plastic spoon … maybe the little children were playing “stir the soup”? That would be fun!
Good guess, Mary Jo, but incorrect.
I love puzzles like that! Keep going! The spoon, to scoop out pieces from the box?
I’m still at it! The spoon—good guess, Stefanie, but incorrect.
To compare the reds?
ah, Booksilver, parlez-vous de la cuillére rouge? Non désolé.
Bonne supposition, mais incorrect.
