Puzzles

I. Axiom: Everyone thinks that their own piece of the puzzle is the most important.

“Look, I have George Washington’s face! I am the primary focus of this whole entire thing!”

“I am a corner piece – without me the whole puzzle would fall apart!”

“My puzzle piece is such a beautiful sky blue. Surely a blue this lovely must be the most important part of the whole thing.”

We all need to realize that the person who buys the puzzle only cares about the image on the front, and that all of the pieces fit together in the end.

II. Corollary: The more pieces you have, the longer it will take to assemble the damn thing.

    Deep, I like.. So, being that you’re a puzzle builder, the key would be to figure out how to get the right type of pieces and the right amount of pieces. Right?

    But therein lies the challenge. You’d be bored to death putting together a 6-piece puzzle made for a 4-year-old!
    I don’t think YOU get to figure out the right type and amount of pieces. I think you’re given a puzzle and you have to work piecing together the frame and the face and the sky until you finally have a picture that would look odd if even one piece was missing.
