Goanywhere 162pc Celtic Knot Challenge IMG_0464

Feb 2024

For David Shearer's talk Anything But Square.

GoAnywhere had some interesting designs which were very advanced for their time. This is perhaps their most difficult.

An extremely difficult laser-cut plywood jigsaw. I don't time myself, because that's not what jigsaws are about for me, but this little puzzle (8in square) is at least as difficult as a 250pc Wentworth tessellation or difficult 500pc whimsy puzzle.

 

I completed it without the image and having forgotten that it was square, so that all I had to guide me was the subtle tones and striping and the size/shapes of the lugs/holes. You just have to keep plugging away, building up small areas until you can pull some of the m together. The four more normal-shaped centre pieces are the clue to a symmetrical pattern. Having lugs sticking into some of the dropout areas is sneaky. Highly recommended for the experienced and determined.

 

One of the pieces had snapped across a very narrow neck within the packaging. Disassemble with care.
