Brought to you by the venerable De
Selby,
of Third Policeman fame, Jig-Saw-Jig-
Saw
is a jig-saw puzzle which is created by
photographing a completed jig-saw,
whose subject matter is in turn a person
working on a jig-saw puzzle, with
numerous pieces scattered about.
To add to the difficulty
and confusion,
the
pieces and cut patterns of Jig-Saw-Jig-
Saw, are slightly different to those of its
origins, which it is attempting to imitate.
When the entire Jig-saw-jig-saw is half
completed, the solver takes a high
resolution photograph, which is sent
into the manufacturer as part of a
competition. One of these is chosen to
create the next generation of puzzles.

who don't know.

We used to have some friends who loved Jigsaws, so what we did was buy about 6 boxes of about 10000 piece jigsaws and mix all of the pieces together in a big plastic bag. We then mailed this bag to them anonymously with no photographs attached. I don't know if they like jigsaw puzzles anymore. |

Ah reality, the only place where there are no leftover and unplaced pieces . |
