The ‘Thousandth’ Piece

[I consider this a “geeking-out” or “nerding-out” post, rather than a jigsaw puzzle post.]
Another 27×37 = 999 piece puzzle, in which two pieces have been divided into three. I did battle with Photoshop’s Magnetic Lasso for a couple days to select the border around the three pieces in question, but here you can see there are two pieces above the bordered-triple and two pieces below the bordered-triple. So 27×37 … + the extra 1 = 1,000.

As previously noted: when we assemble the border, I often count the pieces on all four sides to make sure the sides match and the top-and-bottom match. When it’s a 27×37 grid, I find it fun to find the “extra” piece. Yeah, this again summarizes (in part) the type of personality Clare has to tolerate in being married to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

» I have found “1000-piece puzzles” come in seven different configurations.
» This puzzle is another Thomas Kinkade (“Wine Country Living”), the last of an 8-puzzle boxed set.

Oh my. You are compulsive about your puzzles.

Interesting!

Bless you, puzzles are a great source of frustration for me

@randystreat I think the compulsion is more about numbers and counting and verifying and “classifying,” but there’s definitely a compulsion!
