See how quickly you can solve the jigsaw puzzle. You will be shown the picture before you start and can display it at any time by pressing D. You can choose a skill level between 1 and 5. 1 is easy and 5 is very hard. The next piece of the puzzle will be chosen at random and appear as a flickering image in the top left hand corner of the puzzle grid. You may now move the piece around the grid using the cursor keys. When you have placed the piece in the right place, key N to get the next piece. Continue until the puzzle is complete. If you want to move an existing piece, press RETURN and a small flashing cross will appear in the current grid square. You may move this with the cursor keys and place it on the piece to be moved. Press RETURN again and you will now be able to move the piece with the cursor keys. If you really have to give up then ESCAPE will give you another try. And, if you can't bear Bach, key Q once you have started the puzzle.
