Master Solver Dick

"I solved the Christmas Puzzle"


Talk about stick-to-itiveness and dedication.  Lt. Col. Gen. Tailgunner dick is hereby awarded the Legion du Puzzle Medal to wear proudly on his Barn Army tunic. Huzzah!  (You rookies, this is why he's a Lt. Col. Gen Tailgunner, and not a Cpl-Major!)  Samurai Attorney General TFV is preparing a special Sushi surprise for you, Dick.

I'm impressed. I gave up when, after spending an hour, I hadn't even made a dent in sorting out the edge pieces.

BTW, how the heck do you put the cork back in a champagne bottle anyway?

I prefer an arbor press myself, but what ever works.
LBA, don't feel bad; I lost it three times.
BTW, thanks for the kudos, all.
Now I'm back to cracking the DNC code.

I don't ever post, but I read this fine blog every single day.

There is no way I'm letting anyone else get all the credit for that freaking puzzle. I decided to zoom in after just about finishing the border and had to restart after not being able to get the whole picture back.

Then after about 10 days where work, family and sleep were all neglected, I did finally finish....I was expecting at least a little skin :(

The hardest part was the damn edge of the shelves for the vegetable crisper drawers. They were invisible on my screen once in place, making it impossible to tell if a piece was missing or not.

Anon - had to restart after not being able to get the whole picture back Happened to me one of the three times I lost it, and you're right about the veggie drawer and the gray pearlescent colors in general. Had to play with screen brightness and contrast and squint a lot.

fuhuck...that explains a lot. I think I got about 30% done before someone mentioned in the comments it was just a refrigerator and I gave up.

Yeah, that photo explains a lot.

Look at how many different colors are in widely separate places. I got the margarine tub together only because it was the only yellow thing in there.
