I had a Dalmation puzzle that was printed on both sides. I finally gave it away as a white elephant at christmas. I think that is how I got it.

I got up to 16×12, but my algorithm is about O(n^2). I wish I could use a computer to solve these, because there’s an obvious O(n lg(n)) solution if I had some automation.

I really like this game. It didn’t take long to get a system down to organize the pieces after the edges are done. I am up to 13×9 and not planning on stopping…

Is there any way to save your game so you don’t have to replay when you go back?

Apparently there are people who have the time, perseverance and insane fortitude to get up to 33×24 and are still going. Wow!

I can’t look at the pieces anymore; I’m too dizzy. I got as high as 16×12.

At some point in the past, I had a puzzle called Spilt Milk. It was 350 pieces and all white and the final puzzle looked like a puddle of milk. No straight edges, anywhere. The puzzle came in a milk carton shaped box. It took me some time but I finally finished it. I have to wonder how that got lost in some move.

Why are we discriminating against non-white puzzle pieces?

I like the puzzle interface at:

You can optionally rotate the pieces and set the number of pieces to make it harder.

14×10 took me 43 minutes to complete, so I probably won’t do 15×11.

I got to 14×10, but by that point you need a system, and then it gets a little boring.

It’s weird that I find this easier than puzzles with a picture isn’t it?

Also: I want the Beatles White Album puzzle…

@Kateri, I actually have the White Album puzzle! I have yet to open it, though.

It goes at least as high as 12×9. It’s easier than a real-life white puzzle made out of cardboard would be, because the you can’t rotate the pieces.
