    “Missing” I hate missing pieces. I’m really trying to get over that pet peeve because it’s bound to happen when you do a lot of puzzles. That being said, this is really cool. Because the piece is intentionally missing, you’ve actually completed the puzzle, even with the one piece being omitted. Something about that makes it OK.

    I actually think the missing piece is aesthetically pleasing, so even if you _were_ someone who did puzzles more for the end result than the process, I think that end result would still be satisfying, at least visually. To me knowing the piece is supposed to missing is enough. The puzzle looking good with a missing piece is also enough. It's a solid colour puzzle anyway, so it's not like there's an image that is being obstructed or that remains unfinished because there's a piece missing. I think the missing piece would only really be irritating if you specifcally hate missing pieces in _any_ context (intentional or not), and in that case, you wouldn't buy this puzzle. The packaging and branding make it SUPER clear that there is supposed to be a missing piece, so I can't imagine anyone's going to get caught off guard by that!

    I really like how you added the little clock in the corner in some clips where you did the time lapses, it puts your puzzling into real-time perspective which I thought was pretty cool. As always, it’s fun to see your videos!

    Guessing I got recommended this because I watch Simone... but this was actually pretty enjoyable to watch. I liked the tip on separating into piece shapes. I've only ever separated out edges and then by colour doing picture jigsaw puzzles before.

    I think the puzzle is really interesting! The *missing* puzzle piece does seem to add a challenge to the puzzle, and I am a huge fan of Simone's, so I would definitely do it just to support her.

    Fun episode! I love your optimism when starting a puzzle! The whole "missing" piece phenomenon is haunting. I have a random piece left over from so much of the puzzling I did during covid lockdown (found on the floor somewhere) and no idea which puzzle it came from! Now, I can't donate any of my puzzles without knowing which of them has the missing piece! Don't want to drive anyone else crazy. How to label puzzle: "this puzzle may have a missing piece?"

    I would definitely do a solid color puzzle 'missing' a piece, especially with random shapes. While I haven't done a completely solid Springbok yet I have definitely done some challenging ones where I relied more on piece shape than the image - "Furry" comes to mind with the baby seal. Happy to see you still have the Jellybean puzzle, love that one.

    The hardest puzzle I've ever done was titled The Wave. It's only completely interlocking pieces were the edge. All others had at least 1 curvy side, some with more than one. It was my mom's. She worked on it in the 60's when I was just a little guy and she gave up on it as too hard and put in away. I found it in the mid 70's as a teen and tried doing it two or three times but gave up also. Fast forward to my 20's and mom moving found it in the closet again. Dogged determination I tried again and finally finished it. Son of a gun, darn thing had one piece missing!
