Jigsaw Puzzles

Jigsaw puzzles are a challenging hobby for all ages. Puzzles come in different sizes from 4 very large pieces for small children to over 18,000 for adults. They often have interesting pictures on them in order to motivate the puzzler to complete it. One of the worst tragedies in puzzling is finishing a puzzle and finding that you have a missing piece, or pieces left over. Ask all your puzzling questions here.

Why were jigsaw puzzles invented?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jigsaw puzzles were invented in 1760 by a London engraver and mapmaker named John Spilsbury.

John Spilsbury designed the first jigsaw puzzle as an educational tool for kids in Britain to help them learn their geography. Indeed the first puzzle was a map on a wooden board and Spilsbury cut out the countries with a marquetry saw.

At that time there were call 'dissections' and the name jigsaw puzzle come into usage in about 1880 with the introduction of the fretsaw.

Today jigsaw puzzles are both used as educational tools as well as pastime and hobbies for kids and adults alike.

What is the solution to the jigsaw puzzle Murder at Bedford Manor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It all began with Conan Bell's murder. The penniless and crafty Lord Bruce knew he couldn't win Gwendolyn until Conan was out of the way. On that morning in May, Bruce waylaid Conan in a secret room that Harry had once shown him. He sealed the room shut. Then, he forged the note and fabricated the story of Conan's departure. By paying off the debts, he kept the merchants from seeing out the vanished young man.

Things went fine until Harry discovered the body. Since Bruce was the only person to have "seen" Conan leave, Harry knew he must be the killer. He blackmailed Bruce into buying the horse, which he aptly named Secret Sin.

Bruce didn't like being blackmailed. It was Bruce who spooked the horses. When Harry ran into the stables, Bruce knocked him out, then set the place on fire. Harry somehow managed to escape, but the gypsy boy who was sleeping in the adjoining barn wasn't so lucky. When the gypsy's charred body was found, it was presumed to be young Harry's.

Meanwhile, Harry was alive. He knew Bruce had tried to kill him and was still dangerous. Harry was the mysterious intruder hanging around the estate, foraging with the gypsies who had always been his friends.

On the servants' night out, Lord Bruce instigated the next phase of his plan' stringing the rich, annoying wife from the chandelier. He was confident that everyone would call it a suicide. He even began to write her suicide note.

But Harry was outside in the rain, looking in, horrified. By the time he stormed into the main hall, Gwen was dead. Harry and Bruce struggled and Bruce was killed by his own knife.

Harry lowered his sister to the floor. Then, traumatized by her death and afraid of being arrested, Harry ran off, never to be seen again. This explains why there were only four ghosts a hundred years ago and why there are five now.

Years later, when Harry died, his ghost returned to Heathmoor Manor, the scene of the most traumatic memory of his life.
