A huge puzzle (6 pics + 1 video)

The gathering of the puzzle, a very interesting exercise, though time-consuming, which is unfortunately not enough.
But the result is stunning, especially if they consist of thousands of figures.
What is the largest number of figures you have built?



 







And here's another interesting ...
First in September 2010 the German company Ravensburger released into the free sale of the European puzzle, consisting of 32'256 (thirty-two thousand two hundred fifty-six) elements. Giant puzzle game based on the illustrations of the late New York artist Keith Heyringa, became the biggest cardboard Puzzles in history record "EDUC" with their dvadtsatichetyrehtysyachnikom «Life» (also called «Life - The Great Challenge», in the sense that assemble a picture - it is really an act, we can say - the greatest challenge!) would not have lasted five years. It is reported that US consumers «Double Retrospect» (can be translated as "ambiguous flashback") - namely the so-called ravensburgerovskaya new - will be available in stores starting in February 2011. The original retail price of the giant - about three hundred euros, or about 380 US dollars (approx. - Currently, many online stores are full of more great deals for buyers).



So what is the most «Double Retrospect»? Let's start with the fact that the picture itself is made up of thirty-two independent pieces; sliced ​​items are packed in a package of eight - four thousand (slightly) in each bags. On the one hand - like sorting, of course, it should greatly facilitate the process of gathering the puzzle, except that, in practice, things are not so rosy. The fact that the color palette is not too varied illustration: if we leave out the black and white, then it turns out that the image of the "ambiguity of view" are only six (six!) Colors. And now, just imagine what will happen when you mix 32'000 pazlinok similar in shape, painted only six colors!

Incidentally, in each of the thirty-two fragments of mosaic presented no more than three colors, that is the happy owner of this masterpiece will have to collect two or three-color thousanders thirty-two times in a row, and then join them together. And do not forget that the final collection for «Double Retrospect» pazlomanu require a separate and very rather big room: total area harvested "web" will be almost ten and a half square meters, the dimensions of the image - 5.44 x 1.92m. That is, before striking his imagination and the surrounding majesty of the new puzzle is clear bedroom (or better - the living room) of excess furniture and smashed into the door of the room dedicated new locks - well to pets or children accidentally Porush have made. By the way, the box with this mosaic weighs about 17 (seventeen) kilograms, so if you do decide to buy this monster, then do not count on an easy stroll from the point of delivery to the house with cardboard cut in weightless backpack.



Reviews themselves pazlomanov on «Double Retrospect» rather ambiguous: it is clear that, until recently, no one even simply was not possible to assemble the puzzle of this size, and the company Ravensburger yet never gave reason to doubt the quality of their products - so interest Of course, there is, and considerable interest. But on the other hand, lovers of leisure pass for intelligent assembly pictures - people, for the most part, very conservative, so the choice of illustrations for the world's biggest puzzle approve not all. Indeed, many prefer not to disassemble the assembled mosaic, and with its help to decorate the interiors, and the creation of Keith Heyringa suitable not for every room: like many of the avant-garde is associated not with a wall in a cozy country house, but rather an underground passage in the crowded metropolis. In connection with this many times here and there we hear the views of that, they say, the puzzle of course excellent, and is not that it is very expensive, but if in the picture there were no strange "plasticine" men, as, for example, a sailboat on sunset, or a horse, galloping towards the medieval castle (option - a unicorn, was walking along the shore of Lake of the night), the prices would be this very puzzle was not! And so ... But as you know, how many people - so many opinions, but at the same time cater to all is impossible in principle.

However, in practice, those wishing to assemble «Double Retrospect» in the world there are many. It is worth noting the action carried out in October 2010 in a small Spanish town of Daimiel, where a group of enthusiasts still took up the assembly "ambiguity sight." The team, consisting of thirteen members, was able to put his plan into practice eighty two hours and thirty minutes and forty seconds, and anyone connected to the Internet, could freely observe this process in real-time online puzzle32000.com. That's the way!
