Cut the top off and glued it to the bottom.
Dowels are a bit shorter than in the plans, but i'll risk it.
Just a few short days later, I have placed all of the non-standard-shaped pieces in this monotonous middle ground of 'Creation of Adam'. Now I understand how others completed the 32,256-piece "Double Retrospect" so quickly. It's a breeze, when all you have to do is complete one section, and then build the others over it.
(Even the above section to the puzzle, which is the middle 1/3rd and 4,032 pieces, could be further broken down into 4 identical 1,008-piece sections. Thus, in this puzzle, there are 12 duplicates of each piece, for a grand total of 12,096.)
As I've said before, I don't think this approach is really the 'essence' of puzzling. (Whether or not it's 'cheating' is another question.) With an identical pattern, it's just a matching exercise, focusing on piece shape, which is limited to about 7 or 8 generalities. Sure, it might be more difficult and costly for puzzle manufacturers to make a 12,000 piece puzzle, or a 32,000 piece puzzle, with completely unique pieces (or at least no repeating pattern) throughout. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't try to!
Indeed, it seems that large-puzzle companies, especially Ravensburger, are attempting to turn their 'cookie-cutter' manufacturing limitations into an asset. Those in the know can enjoy huge time savings by figuring out the "key" and, once a 1,008 piece section is completed, reinforce this method of building puzzles by piece shape, one section on top of the other. Ravensburger's choice of Keith Haring's 'Double Retrospect,' a series of 32 panels, made up of solid-color areas only, leaves one little choice but to go primarily by shape, once the primary colors are sorted. Each panel neatly fits on top of the other.
To me, the essence of making a puzzle - whether 50 or 500 or 50,000 pieces - is about separating out different color areas. One has to get 'in the zone,' developing a keen eyesight for differences in hue, graininess/smoothness, proportion, etc. in order to solve the puzzle.
In my opinion, the rising dominance of "making a puzzle by piece shape and pattern" diminishes the accomplishments of the people who make them. To a casual observer, unaware that a 32,000 piece puzzle is actually comprised of 32 identical 1000 piece puzzles, finishing such a behemoth must seem nearly super-human. But ultimately it's the puzzler who is being cheated.
Bigger isn't always better. In the race to produce the hugest puzzle, the quality and uniqueness/variety of cutting - once a cornerstone of puzzles - is being ignored.
What do you other puzzlers out there think?
I knew I wasn't gonna have time to take a good quality pic so I just snapped a quick one while I was out and about. Very busy day today!

We were bored while waiting for the "Pity The Fool Alleycat" (a bike checkpoint race) to start because we were checkpointing outside the East Brunswick Club. It was a girls only race where they had to race in teams of two and there were something like 13 checkpoints spread out but since it was April Fools... only 4 of them were real checkpoints!
It was a really fun race.
We stood around for about thirty minutes waiting for someone to show up and then all of a sudden Logan sees an attractive woman walk past and hey presto, up comes the camera! haha!
Then not long after I took this shot a torrent of people started to appear out of nowhere! The first team to arrive had been really unlucky with four fake checkpoints and ours being the first real one! The next team had much more luck with only two fakes and one real one, ours being the second.
We had a total of ten teams show up and then it was time to head back to the finish line, so we jumped on our bikes and shot off to Pony Bikes in the city for the after party, barbecue, and the prize giveaways! Only 3 teams found all 4 checkpoints in time and completed the race.
Italy
1940s
Gnutti was one of the first manufacturers to license the patent from Campagnolo for the quick release and make their own branded version. Gnutti also made this same quick release for Huret with Huret Export Italy stamped on the lever. Gnutti made cambio corsa derailleurs that were almost identical to Campagnolo's design so it is likely that there was also an ongoing business relationship between the two Italian firms. Gnutti produced their own high quality hubs, headsets, bottom brackets and cranksets.

I did some messing around in GIMP with layers and came up with this. Thought the original image was just a tad underexposed.

For FGR: Show me your chucks
I'm too cool for chucks, so I'll present my worn out Quick shoes. It's some kind of retro model they did for a couple of years about 10 years ago. I haven't been able to get another pair and the newest models are pretty lame.
Finding myself in Nottingham for a quick visit, I also got the opportunity to try and add to my stranger project. As I stood near the train station, I noticed someone coming towards me who had blue hair. Opposite me was a blue door, and this seemed to be a perfect background to photograph the approaching person against. I stepped forward and introduced the project to Tom, who instantly agreed to being photographed. I noticed at this time that Tom’s hair wasn’t just blue, that it also had purple and lilac tones within it too.
The street was bathed in bright sunlight, but the location of the blue door was in shade cast by the tall buildings surrounding us. This was perfect for me as I wouldn’t have to deal with contrasty lighting that may have thrown unflattering shadows on Tom’s face.
Tom is a student at Nottingham College, studying Digital Design and Animation. Tom is very passionate about arts and crafts with a special interest in illustration.
When not studying, Tom likes playing videos, hanging out with friends, and doing arts and crafts for fun.
What is Tom’s guilty pleasure? Looking at Tik Tok in bed, was the reply.
What can’t Tom live without? “Eating Ramen,” Tom said.
Thank-you Tom for agreeing to being photographed for my stranger project. I hope you like your portrait.
This picture is number 339 in my 100 Strangers project, yes, I’ve decided to do a fourth round. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

Quick Montélimar Sud 05/06/2017 10h06
I visited this place three year ago (Quick Montélimar Sud - 2014 when there were only rumours of Quick being taken over by Burger King. Now the rebranding of Quick in France is in full swing. As we speak (* June 2017) Quick has 287 restaurants open in France and Burger King 149. But the transformation is going fast. Montélimar is still a 'zero Whopper' city, but it will be very possible that this Quick restaurant will be transforemed in a 'Home of the Whopper'.

A quick research online reveals the following from the year 1864:
"The Montreal branch [of the John F. Henry & Co.] keeps constantly on hand a large and varied assortment of patent medicines and perfumery. They are agents for many of the principal medicines, such as Radway's Relief and Pills, Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, Hostetter's Bitters [...] They are also the proprietors of the celebrated Down's Elixir and Henry's Vermont Liniment."
- from the book, "MONTREAL BUSINESS SKETCHES: with a description of the City of Montreal, its public buildings and places of interest, and the Grand Trunk Works at Point St. Charles, Victoria Bridge, prepared and published by the Canada Railway Advertising Company, 1864."
