WEBVTT - Short Stuff: Jigsaw Puzzles

0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Hey, you're welcome to the short Stuff. I'm Josh and

0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>there's Chuck and this is short stuff. Let's get started

0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>starting now. Do you like puzzles? Um? Sure, Wait a minute,

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:22.520
<v Speaker 1>is this like literal jigsaw puzzles? Okay, Um, yeah, I've

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>got no problem with jigsaw puzzles. That's as far as

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean anything these days, Chuck, don't you know the

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>world's ending? Well, I didn't mean like, do you want

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>to fight a puzzle? I mean do you do you

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.560
<v Speaker 1>enjoy sitting down and doing a jigsaw puzzle? Yeah? Sure

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I do. I mean it's been a while, but yes,

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I like a good puzzle. Um, a jigsaw puzzle in particular,

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:46.279
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to say, like a very heartwarming one, like

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe a jigsaw puzzle of a Thomas Kincaid painting, or

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>of flowers or kittens or something, and nothing's terribly hard,

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>just something like occupying rather than challenging. Yeah. I didn't

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>uh do a lot of puzzles. I mean I guess

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I did when I was a kid, and then probably

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't for a long time. And we weren't a puzzle

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>family really, Um, but I did. There was one week

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>in college where a dude down the street for me.

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 1>A friend got a big puzzle and it was just

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:19.840
<v Speaker 1>one of those things in college where you've got time

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>and three or four of us got together and drank

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 1>a lot for like a week and did this huge

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 1>puzzle and just had so much fun. And that's the

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>last puzzle I've done except for, you know, doing little

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>puzzles with my daughter. That sounds like a fun fun

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>that's a great puzzle story. It was a lot of fun.

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I imagine that whole like weekend starting with a musical

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>number where like your friends sticks his head out the

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 1>front door. He's like, gets here and you stick your

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 1>head out and you're like, sort of here, it's here,

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>the puzzle finally here. Uh, that's exactly That's exactly how

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>it went down. This is a lot of jibber jabber

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>for his short stuff, isn't it. Yeah, So we should

0:01:58.400 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>just go ahead and get to it and say that

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>a named Sir John Spillsbury. They called him the dough Boy.

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 1>He was a engraver in England and a map maker

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>in the mid seventeen hundreds and he gets credit in

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>seventeen sixty six for creating the first jigsaw puzzle when

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>he Uh, put a map on a piece of wood,

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>cut it out, cut the countries out, and said, here

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.839
<v Speaker 1>you go. Teachers, use this to teach geography. I love

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>things where it's just like there, it is right there.

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>That was the first time it ever happened. That's the

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>beginning of it. There's your origin story. It's nice and tidy.

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>So UM. It was kind of a teaching tool at first,

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.359
<v Speaker 1>but also people were like, it's kind of fun putting

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>the countries, and let's do this at home too, or um,

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 1>at our friend's house over a long weekend while we drink.

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 1>So it kind of kind of took off and then um,

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 1>in very short order. It also became a marketing tool too,

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>where companies would kind of, you know, maybe give away,

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 1>um a jigsaw puzzle that was a photo of a

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>mobile gas Asian or something like that. Um. So they

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:07.800
<v Speaker 1>became very ubiquitous pretty quickly. Yeah, and they still do

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.919
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that to promote your company. Um. They can

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>be little marketing tools. I no, Kodak has one that

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>they sell that they say is the world's largest at

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>fifty one pieces plus eight and a half feet by

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 1>six point to five ft. None of those things are

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>even close it's not the biggest at all. They're really

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>full of it, Chuck. I think they can just say

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>whatever they want their code. What are you gonna do?

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess so. Yeah, So Codak does sell that one.

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>It's like four hundred bucks, and I mean, it's nothing

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>to sneeze at. It's a giant, huge puzzle. Our problem

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 1>with it is that they call it the world's largest

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>jigsaw puzzle. And I'm guessing it's not just us who

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>have a problem with it, but the people at the

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Guinness World Records probably have a bit of a problem

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 1>with it too. Either that or Codex lawyers were like,

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.720
<v Speaker 1>we have to ward this just perfectly, or else were

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>getting some trouble here because it turns out that this

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Kodak world's Largest Jigsaw puzzle is fairly mediocre compared to

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>some of the other jigsaw puzzles that are around that

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>take the cake for world's largest anything. Yeah, there was

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:19.359
<v Speaker 1>one in two thousand eighteen in Dubai that Guinness recognized

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 1>and it was an honor of the Year of Zaid,

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>which is a year long tribute to the person who

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>founded the U A B S Sorry the U A E. Yeah,

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Shaik Zayed been Sultan all nine in Nice. I think,

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I think I got it. And this thing was sixty

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:44.680
<v Speaker 1>five almost sixty six thousand square feet. Yeah that's um,

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty pretty impressive if you have you seen it, Yeah,

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 1>it was pretty it was awesome. I mean, like the

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 1>pieces themselves are giant. They're like about a foot or

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 1>so square, and you know, the whole thing was a

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.160
<v Speaker 1>little it was like kind of light cardboard, but when

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>put together, was quite impressive for sure. And Codex had

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:07.360
<v Speaker 1>fifty pieces in change. There was one in Ho Chi

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Min City in Vietnam that the students at the university

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.280
<v Speaker 1>there put this thing together and it had over a

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>half a million pieces, right, so um, that was I

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>think of a giant lotus flower, right, beautiful it is. Um.

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>So there's definitely bigger puzzles than the one that Codex

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 1>touting is the world's largest jigsaw puzzle. Um. But some

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>people say, okay, that's great. Yeah, that's really time consuming.

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 1>But any schmo with all of the pieces can put

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 1>that thing together. Other people and this is totally unsurprising

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>to me that there's like a whole subculture of people

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>who are like, I want to be challenged by a

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>jigsaw puzzle. As it turns out, you don't have to

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 1>have a football field size jigsaw puzzle to be challenged.

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>You can do it with some very small surface areas.

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>There's one in particular called ice Puzzle nine that's just

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 1>nine pieces, but it's possibly the hardest jigsaw puzzle on

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.039
<v Speaker 1>the planet. All right, well, let's take a break there

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and we'll tell you more about ice Puzzle nine right

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 1>after this. Have you seen this thing? I have? Have

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 1>you seen the video of someone putting it together? No?

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I saw a video of the guy putting jigsaw puzzle

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:41.279
<v Speaker 1>twenty three together or twenty nine. So this is a

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>designer and I think he did both of these. Name

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>you Osaka. And if you look at ice Puzzle nine,

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.719
<v Speaker 1>it's a tray, a blue tray that's about as big

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 1>as your two hands put together. It's very small, and

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 1>it's only got those nine pieces in there. You know,

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 1>they don't look like your standard puzzle pieces there sort

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>of you know, they can be flattened places and curvy,

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 1>just like a puzzle, but like a jigsaw puzzle, but

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>there's just something a little different. And when you look

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>at it, when you look at you think how hard

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>could that be And then I went to a YouTube

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.000
<v Speaker 1>that showed a guy putting it together and it was

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 1>so easy, and I was like, how do people not

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>get that? That's how easy it is. And the only

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>thing I can think of is that it's it's easy

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>when you see someone doing it, but very hard when

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you're just have the puzzle pieces. It must be because

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>this famous puzzler, Chris Ramsey took him two hours and

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 1>nine minutes and said that it was exhausting, right, and

0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 1>he's yeah, he he doesn't seem to be the kind

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 1>who would take like a dive for a puzzle maker,

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 1>like he seems legit. You know, there's a There was

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>another one. I saw a video called from a guy

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 1>named the Puzzle Guy. Who have you ever heard Croatian

0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>people talk speak English? I think this is the video

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I saw. Okay, so that guy did he Jiggs. He

0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>did Jigsaw Puzzle twenty nine too, and he had some

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 1>real trouble with it. In fact, at the end of

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the um the puzzle, when he had the last two pieces,

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 1>he was explaining how he couldn't get them to fit,

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 1>when he accidentally got them to fit and was actually

0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 1>surprised that he finished the puzzle. Yeah, but it's great, man,

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I love I love that accidents so greatation people speak English,

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:30.400
<v Speaker 1>if they just sound so just friendly and amiable, it's awesome.

0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 1>But as he was putting this together, one of the

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 1>big problems with Jigsaw Puzzle twenty nine, which was also

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>made by u Osaka, as you were saying, um, it

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 1>has five corner pieces, so one of the corner pieces

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 1>actually fits into the inside of the puzzle, and it

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 1>just seems to be extraordinarily difficult to put together. One

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons why it's tough is all the pieces

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.959
<v Speaker 1>are exactly the same. It doesn't form a picture. Um,

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>I should say they look exactly the same, not shape wise,

0:08:56.360 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 1>but but colorwise. They're this translucent blue or whatever. Um.

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 1>So you just have to tell from the shape. And

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.680
<v Speaker 1>then some of the shapes look like they should fit

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>certain sizes um of like holes and that what they're called.

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 1>The shapes go in the holes in the spaces spaces, um.

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 1>But they just don't quite fit. It looks very mad

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>and it was maddening just to watch the video Yese

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 1>and Ice Puzzle nine. I wish I hadn't watched it,

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:25.640
<v Speaker 1>and that I would have just bought it to see

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 1>how I would do. Um, and and I think, and

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to give it away. But when you

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 1>put the last piece in it, the idea is that

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.079
<v Speaker 1>you have to get all the pieces inside that tray.

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 1>It's not necessarily what you think of as a puzzle,

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 1>which is they all fit perfectly together and form a

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:48.959
<v Speaker 1>perfect picture. Um. That's the only kind of hint I

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.679
<v Speaker 1>will give is that, uh, you know, there can be

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>space in that trade. They just gotta all fit in there, right,

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 1>That makes sense. That's a good hint. I don't want

0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.160
<v Speaker 1>to ruin it. So speak of ruining, man, did you

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>see the video of Dave Evans from Dorset, England, who uh,

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>basically created the I guess it was certified as the

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:15.720
<v Speaker 1>world's largest hand cut wooden jigsaw puzzle. No. So this guy,

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:20.959
<v Speaker 1>this poor guy, he created a jigsaw puzzle, an enormous one.

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>It was like, um, twenty ft by eight feet and

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.640
<v Speaker 1>if you're in the UK, it's six meters by two

0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 1>and a half meters. It was just this giant puzzle

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and he had it completed. He spent two weeks putting

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>it together, after assembling, like cutting it and then it

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 1>took him another two weeks just to put it together.

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.320
<v Speaker 1>And he had in this giant piece of plywood in

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 1>his workshop showing it off and it somebody was filming

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:48.200
<v Speaker 1>it and it just collapsed and he walks into the frame.

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 1>It just like about to lose his mind. He just

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>can't believe that just happened. Was captured. Yes, yeah, that

0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 1>moment was captured on video and his reaction was captured

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.120
<v Speaker 1>on video. It's worth it's worth checking out because you

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 1>just agonize for the guy. It took him another sixteen

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 1>days with a bunch of assistants to put it back together. Well,

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 1>here's another interesting record, and this these are the records

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 1>that kind of cracked me up. There are two people

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 1>seemingly battling it out for the largest collection of jigsaw

0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 1>puzzles record. Uh Louisa figure Redo I Guess of South Paulo,

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Brazil and then Georgina gil Lacuna of the Philippines. Um

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 1>have over a thousand puzzles each, and they keep kind

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.200
<v Speaker 1>of coming back and forth. And this is just such

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 1>a weird record because the only thing you have to

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.319
<v Speaker 1>do is just buy more puzzles. Yeah, that's it, That's

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 1>all there is to it. Yeah, like where does it end?

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:47.559
<v Speaker 1>I guess one of them is gonna have to kick

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.680
<v Speaker 1>the bucket. I guess so. But then someone else takes

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.600
<v Speaker 1>over the collection and they're like, I'm gonna buy eight

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 1>more puzzles. I'm winning. You would hope so, but but

0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like, um, you would hope that your arch

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 1>nemesis would have enough class to be like, my puzzle

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 1>collection must be destroyed upon my death. Oh that's what

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 1>you do. Yeah, just set it ablaze or distributed in

0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of different pieces to different people. Now, set

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:16.480
<v Speaker 1>it ablaze. Don't give it to children, all right? You know,

0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 1>how about this, chuck, If you're in favor of setting

0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.960
<v Speaker 1>in a place, you could give them to children a need,

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 1>But you have to stipulate in your will that a

0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 1>piece is taken from every single one of those puzzles,

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.320
<v Speaker 1>and those pieces are set ablaze. How about that? Yeah,

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:31.959
<v Speaker 1>that's the worst. We've gotten a lot of hand me

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:33.959
<v Speaker 1>down puzzles, which is what happens when you have a

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 1>kid and all of them are missing pieces. Why you

0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 1>should just know not to even take a hand me

0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:42.200
<v Speaker 1>down puzzle because it's happen, you know. So, Uh, you

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about this last thing, this seventred person puzzle.

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>March of last year or two thousand nineteen, more than

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 1>seventeen hundred people um got together to form the largest

0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:57.080
<v Speaker 1>human jigsaw puzzle on record. And this one was cool

0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.920
<v Speaker 1>because it raised awareness for autism spectrum to order. And

0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 1>the piece itself that they formed out of human beings

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 1>is the symbol for the Autism Speaks organization. And I

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.079
<v Speaker 1>think there were I don't know if there was controversy,

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.439
<v Speaker 1>but that was surely no one like got mad about this,

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>but the question did arise. Is it a puzzle if

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.360
<v Speaker 1>it's just a puzzle piece, or is it a puzzle

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.440
<v Speaker 1>piece if there's no puzzle for it to fit into?

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh well that too, uh, And Ginnis said, you know

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 1>what this is, everybody. This is a largest human image record.

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.959
<v Speaker 1>In other words, everyone getting together, and when you look

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>at it from space it looks like something else. Some

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 1>marketing research assistant saved the day. Oh yes, I guess.

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 1>The last thing we have to say about jigsaw puzzles

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 1>is that that one great Simpsons reference where there there's

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 1>some people sitting at a bed and breakfast putting a

0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 1>jigsaw puzzle together. It's clearly of a donkey, and a

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>woman puts a piece into like the donkey's shoulder and says, oh,

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:04.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a donkey. Right. That's like, well, you're not watching

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 1>what we do in the shadows, are you. No, I'm

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>saving it all up, I think. All right, Well, for

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the fans, just let me say that's like Jackie Daytona

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 1>and his toothpick. Okay, there you go. I don't want

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to know anything else about it. Well, thanks for joining
