World's Most Difficult Jigsaw Puzzle . . .

I was searching the local thrift stores a few days ago.   I usually buy only certain puzzles.  This one intrigued me.  I had never heard of the World's Most Difficult Jigsaw Puzzles.  This one was still in shrink wrap so I purchased it.  Set me back 54 cents.  All jigsaw puzzles are 50 cents and tax at this shop.  Hard to go wrong.  Hafta admit I have a few times and I've donated them back to the store.  Oh well, I'm not gonna sell everything.

Turns out there are a lot of World's Most Difficult Jigsaw Puzzles, fish, M&M's, tennis balls, etc.  Go to eBay.com and type 'World's Most Difficult Jigsaw Puzzles' in the search box.  If you think you hafta have a penguin one, you can get mine by clickin HERE.

These puzzles usually have 529 pieces.  Have no idea why the number '529.'  The picture is printed on both side.  It is cut so that there are no indentations on either side of the piece.  Then to make it interesting, the artwork is 90 degrees to each other.  Not my idea of fun, but to each his own.  Did you know that there are jigsaw puzzle assembly contests?  Many years ago, one of my neighbors and her sister qualified for the national jigsaw puzzle contests.  Don't recall how they did.  There must be contests for everything.
