This one was a favorite...
40 x 25 (pieces); 126 border pieces; worked every two years (except once when he worked it two years in a row, he let it go three years, to get back onto an even year...)
This one, although it was of the right type (lots of different little pictures, no big expanses of blue sky or sea), did not prove quite as popular, perhaps because of its shape. My father the mathematician liked symmetry.
WORKED DEC. 26 '03 - ALL PIECES HERE
(THIS IS A 2-TABLE PUZZLE!)
Four years later, "2" was crossed out and replaced by "pool". The bumper pool table in the family room, which I have not shown yet, is covered by a large board and so was where many of these puzzles were assembled.
[NOT SO!] WORKED 21 MARCH '07, 10 OCT '08 - ALL HERE
This puzzle was only worked once! It was not given away, so he probably meant to do it again someday.
It would have been a present from Christmas 2007.
No counting of pieces this time. "(PIECE BY PIECE!)" leads me to think it was rather laborious. Perhaps there were just too many pictures this time.
