Bgraamiens Puzzle-The Lines -1000 Pieces Black and White Simple Fashion Challenge Blue Board Jigsaw Puzzles

I am 83 years of age. Decided to challenge/improve "my brain". Found the puzzle world. Done two easy ones to learn strategy etc. And then progressed to the hard ones. This one was the second hard, after I had done the "Old man and the sea." and also "The Trees." I am pretty sure that the puzzle helped. Well, I also stopped drinking alcohol (and found out that I am NOT an alcoholic. Life is great.

Challenging puzzle, but very entertained.

Amazing quality of puzzle, will serve me for a long time😅 plus a difficult picture is making me more interested in this particular puzzle

Nice quality pieces. Good gift.

I don't think I have ever had so much fun putting together a puzzle. Nor have I ever spent that long putting it together. Granted, I do not have the time to just sit down with it during the day (have to wait for the kids to go to sleep); but, when I did work on it, there were definitely moments where I didn't find the pieces I needed. We ended up sorting the pieces by the letters on the back and it was still a challenging puzzle. Not going to lie, I'm tempted to take it apart and do it again. I loved it that much! Would definitely recommend to someone who loves puzzles with a challenge. My favorite part was that the pieces were not normal shapes. They were very abnormal and some even had 'flat' edges that were only slightly curved and the curve was easy to miss. Very easy to confuse them for edge pieces if you don't look at the letters on the back.

The line puzzle was fun to do, but we we're disappointed to find it was missing three pieces and we couldn't finish it.

TL;DR- I can't trust anybody, not even my own family..Every year at Christmas, my family draws names and gifts each other puzzles to complete over the holidays. I had purchased this puzzle close to Christmas and let my brother-in-law and sister know that I had one that they could gift me because they were prone to forgetting (they had forgotten.)Come Christmas, they gifted me a cutely wrapped line puzzle, and I got to work. I didn't want to use the pattern on the backsides of the pieces because we always had races between the families and I wanted to win fair and square. My brother-in-law had other ideas. Come late January, I was the last one to be working on my puzzle by a long shot and he finally sent a picture of an identical puzzle box and broke the news to the family group chat -- he had purchased a second copy of the exact same puzzle, counted out 150 random pieces from each and swapped them. Everybody had a good laugh and now I have a 2000 piece puzzle to tackle (nearly 2 years later.)
