Puzzle from Hell...

[newmexicuse]

As part of our isolation routines, the wife and myself have a jigsaw puzzle happy hour every day just before dinner. Nothing beats cheese and crackers and booze of choice. I have gotten pretty good at throwing together Polynesian juice and rum concoctions.

anyways, my sweet wife decided to get for me, a puzzle of the inside of the dome, packed with 30 thousand crazies all wearing orange for a hoops game.

now imagine trying to put together 1000 pieces, most of them with little bits of orange paraphernalia. You all know the scene, so no need to attach a pic, just imagine the scene in jigsaw pieces !!!!

hardest puzzle I have ever done !!!

Not to get off topic, but when I was a kid I received 3 (round) puzzles:

1. Red Riding Hood (all red)
2. Snow White (all white)
3. The Three Bears (all brown)

Never finished any of them.

This one? I could not finish it. Got frustrated and swept it back into the box.

Nice, I'm going to get that one. I am also about to order the 9,000 piece 'Battle of Algiers' - I'm estimating that it will take a year to finish.

So are you saying there should be a label on this puzzle that says "Abandon all hope all ye who open this box" ?

I have that hanging on the wall of my den. I just turned around to look at it. Villanova game, right?

Those were gifts of extreme cruelty, my friend. I’m a therapist. I can help you.

A couple friends of mine (season ticket holders for many years, of course ...) used to proudly point themselves out in the audience in some of those big, well known panorama shots of the inside of the Dome on a full night. Always kind of fun!

I have never had patience for puzzles.

I just laughed out loud when I saw that. Very well done!

Tetris ruined puzzles for me.

Hope you have a very large table! Good luck. I used to love doing jigsaws as a kid.

The previous puzzle that we completed was a white mountain civil war puzzle, as I am a civil war buff. that was a really great puzzle for anybody who is into that topic.

I also have it hanging on a wall in my Orange Room as well as a poster version of the same shot.

the tough puzzles are the 2 sided ones, very confusing.

I like to do that too with the cheese and crackers and booze of choice just minus a jigsaw puzzle.

Take it to the OT board.

I decided to finally open it this evening while watching hoops tonight. This is March Madness. Who was at this game? Can you spot yourself? Fingers crossed I'll get it finished by the 5:15 tip. (Should've started it earlier.)

 

[jordville]

Didn't finish by the WV game, but it is all ready for the Sweet 16! Let's go Orange!
