Matt Parker strikes again, with jigsaw puzzles this time.


How do you relate the puzzle proportion, piece proportion, and number of pieces in a jigsaw puzzle to get a pleasing puzzle piece shape AND a pleasing total number of pieces?


I went through a jigsaw puzzle phase in my youth, I even had a bunch in one of those puzzle keepers for awhile waiting to be framed before I gave up on it. As it turns out, custom picture frames are really expensive, I only did it for my All I Really Need to Know I Learned In Kindergarden poster.


So now I only do jigsaw puzzles on screens.
