I had a friend recently work on a big puzzle. Almost done and it dawned on him that there were a couple pieces missing and a couple of stray pieces from some other puzzle in the box.

There is a series of jigsaws based upon Agatha Christie novels that do not have a picture provided .  They can be tough.

    lol....thank you for all the responses. There is instructions that come with all of these 3D puzzles,....I just like to try and do it with brain power alone. I did a Harry Potter 3D one, and eventually I had to go to U-Tube. I'd freeze frame the video every 2 secs to see what piece it was. I also did 2 puzzles with pieces missing.....not many, but fortunately, they were "cosmetic" pieces and not "necessary" ones for structural or functioning reasons. They help me to quit smoking, but there spread out on my kitchen table, so if I want to eat I have to finish it. wink.png

My dad was in the Yankee Division National Guard unit for a long time. You're probably safer now that he's retired.

Unfortunately, by mid-1943 the US torpedoes were no longer running under ships or gong thud into them, crushing the detonator but not blowing up. It may have been an actually dangerous situation.

Avatar of petitbonom

I heard Australian torpedoes always returned to blow up the sub that fired them!

  A boomerang.?.....shock.png

Avatar of DrSpudnik

Another problem with US torpedoes as well. They'd go in a big circle and blow up the sub.
