How big a table do you need for your jigsaw puzzle?**
Abstract

Jigsaw puzzles are typically labeled with their finished area and number of pieces. With this information, is it possible to estimate the area required to lay each piece flat before assembly? We derive a simple formula based on two-dimensional circular packing and show that the unassembled puzzle area is √3 times the assembled puzzle area, independent of the number of pieces. We perform measurements on 9 puzzles ranging from 333 cm² (9 pieces) to 6798 cm² (2000 pieces) ... ⌘ Read more

Weekly Lobsters office hours + development
