Amusing Monday: Is a jigsaw puzzle amusing enough?
May 18th, 2009 by cdunaganI’m always looking for something different for this space on Monday. I don’t know whether a jigsaw puzzle fits everyone’s definition of amusing, but I thought I’d throw out this idea for a change.
Jigsaw puzzles are great for when you want to relax and not think about much of anything but finding pieces with similar colors. We all need to relax once in awhile, right?
I found a Web site called JigZone that allows you to pick your picture, decide how it should be cut into pieces and choose the number of pieces that should be created.
Click on the picture to the right and you’ll see the pieces scrambled. Choices for putting the picture back together are at the left of the puzzle.
Whether you like jigsaw puzzles or not, you have to admit that the variety here is incredible. Go to “more puzzles” and dig down to see all the pictures available. Cut the pictures into many, many shapes. If you think you know your states, choose a monotone picture and select “United States” to see if you can put the states where they belong
The puzzle site also allows you to measure how long it takes to complete a puzzle.
This site even integrates with Facebook, so you can cut your posted photos or someone else’s into dozens of pieces and put them back together again.
