How Long Does It Take To Finish a Puzzle With No Sides?

Two sixth grade girls didn’t waste any time to challenge themselves the first day that they were at the Impact Learning Center. Mercedes and Lea, along with some other staff members, tackled a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle. That wasn’t the tricky part. On top of having 500 pieces, it had no sides!

Each day after-school, the girls spent their forty-five minutes of free-time, before the elementary students came, talking, laughing and fitting together the miniature pieces that matched the portrait on front of the box. Each day the puzzle was stored a little more completed than the day before.

Finally, the last piece was locked into place a week after it had been started. The 500 count was down to 499, because one piece had gone missing. But with teamwork, perseverance and a lot of smiles, these girls showed off their accomplishment with a beautiful picture. Good job girls!
