Has anyone had any luck with puzzle. I'm terrible at puzzles, but I want to know what the picture is.
Yes, though my time was much worse than the "best times" posted. What you need to know is that all the pieces are already oriented in the way they will go (can't be turned). I have found two approaches that work: by shape and by colour. Usually you start jigsaw puzzles by doing the edges, as they are easy to identify and not too many pieces. You can then work in from the edges. In this case, I didn't do that: I put all the white pieces aside and spread out all the pieces with parts of Evgenia. I put those together based on colour and shape. Then I did the edges, then I put her in place and filled in the ice around her by pure shape. Normally you move once piece one at a time, but you can also select a bunch of pieces and then move them as a group. This "group move" helps when you are sorting out the pieces (Evgenia vs ice) or edge vs non-edge.
