LIFE: The Great Challenge - by Royce B. McClure
- FIRST TO COMPLETE IN ILLINOIS, USA AFTER MIXING ALL 24,000 PIECES BEFORE
COMMENCING. (Earlier Illinois completion did not mix all the pieces prior to
starting.)
August 13, 2008
Jerry Cicio ll - Granite City, Illinois, USA.
Assembled SOLO between 10 Dec 2007 - 13 August 2008
About 4 years ago, I searched the Internet for the World's largest puzzle
and I found the Ravensburger 4 world maps puzzle.
When it came in the mail I couldn't believe how big it was but I mixed
together all 18,000 pieces and went to work. I finished almost exactly a
year later and told myself never again would I do something like that.
That is until it wasn't the largest puzzle in the world any more, so
when I saw the 'Life' puzzle I knew that one day it would hang on the other
wall by the one I had already finished.
I was surprised at how much faster I finished this one, just under 8
months.
I did the entire mixed puzzle by myself with the exception of the last two
pieces, those went to my children Kourtney and Dominic.
So now I am done looking at giant puzzles for a while, that is... at least
until something larger comes along.
Thanks - it was an experience!
