What happens to all of them?
  • I had a friend named Cody who was a straight A student, changed schools in 7th grade, fell in with a bad group of kids, got into a car accident, fell into a coma, lost site in one eye, and now coaches snowboarding. Not dead, though

  • Gradient Cascade - Ravensburger - 1027

    This is a neat puzzle by Karen Puzzles. The big puzzle pieces are all separate puzzles making it fun and a little trickier than i would have thought. !

    The Clearly Impossible Puzzle - 100
  • Hah. It actually wasnt too bad. I started with the edge; that was the hardest part. I then organized by piece shape, and then i just used to shapes of the knobs on the pieces to place them. They all had a fair bit of character, so it wasn't too bad.

  • The Clearly Impossible Puzzle - 100

    This was a small one, so it wasn't too hard, but I can imagine the larger versions become a lot harder. Maybe I'll try the 200 piece version next. ! !

    Fairhaven in the Fall - MB - 1000

    Picked this one up from the local second hand store. It was easier than i thought it would be with all the browns and yellows.

    Forest Fantasy - Serendipity - 1000

    Here's a weird one I found at the local thrift store.

    Krypt (Pink) - Ravensburger - 654

    !

    ! (I thought about blurring this one, but the solution is on the back of the box.)

    This one was fun. I started by sorting by color, but once I sorted by shape I started moving a bit faster.

    I did the whole thing without opening the envelope with the puzzle guide or looking at the back of the box.

    Home in England - Milton Bradley - 1000

    ! Another older (1965) puzzle from the thrift store. This one with six missing pieces. The image was very low def, but the pieces were thick and fit together well.

    Biggest puzzle my daughter and I have done together. She's amazing.

    Flutterbyes - Sure-Lox - 500

    Another thrift store puzzle. Sure-Lox are pretty low quality puzzles, but my daughter loved this one.

    Another puzzle from the local thrift store. This puzzle was easier than I thought it was going to be.

    Picked this one up from the thrift store. Can't find a year on it, but it's definitely old and seen a lot of use.

    (no name) - Bei Bi La - 1000

    First puzzle of The New Year. Got this one cheap on Amazon. The quality was ok, but the color palette made some sections fairly tricky.

    Montpelier, Vermont Townscape - Kodak - 1000

    !

    !

    I saw this post here a while back and was inspired to pick up the Kodak version of the puzzle for myself.

    As pointed out in the previous post, the image in the two puzzles appears to be the same, but the Kodak version has a few differences. The main difference is the different crop. The Kodak version has the church centered.

    Another difference is the change in the sky. The newer version has a fake Blu sky with clouds applied over the original.

    The difference I find the most bizarre, though, is the color tone differences. The colors in the puzzle in the older post are a much more accurate representation of reality, while the colors in the newer version have the contrast turned up so high that the red looks radioactive. Unfortunately my camera doesn't capture them it well, but the leaves look like the heat vision from the movie The Predator. Hilariously, Kodak advertises "richer, truer colors!" on the box.

    Zojoji Temple In Shiba, 1925 - Wentworth - 250

    Borrowed this puzzle from a friend. Wentworth puzzles are so nice.

    The Heart of Ukraine - Trefl - 1000

    Picked up this beautiful puzzle on clearance from Amazon. The only downside to it is there wasn't great variation in the puzzle pieces. So in solid colors it was slightly tedious finding the pieces that actually belonged together

    Magic Hour: A Welcome To Night Vale Puzzle - 1000
  • I thought they would be too, but honestly it wasn't that bad. The shades were all different enough to be clear where they belonged. The sky was the only part that was a little tedious, but even that was a slight gradient. All around fun puzzle.
