Puzzles

When you grow up in a small house with 8 siblings one things that you don't play with are puzzles. Hence, I never knew how to do them. 
 I clearly remember that the first time I worked a large puzzle (think 300 pieces), Peter helped me and he was six. That meant that I was 28 years old.
 For years as the kids got older, I usually sat on the sidelines and watched. I would try to help, but invariably a piece would be put in wrong. I thought that if I could make it lie flat, it fit. Imagine lots of pounding. 
So, now 20* years later, I work puzzles. And I enjoy them. I do 1000 piece ones, but I have only done one by myself. 
So it's cold out, the puzzle table is ready, and I'm raring to go. Wanna help?
