i grew up with puzzles.. from really young, as far as i can remember, the classic - jigsaws. then word puzzles, number games.. and more jigsaws. :) word search, like tens of thousands of them completed just in my primary school years. even more of them through secondary school.. then sudoku came into my life - thousands of them again. (i average 30+ in a day? XD)

and now... i'm still doing them.. online jigsaws (yawn, i know), more word games - word search, scrabble whatnots, and more sudoku.

and speaking of jigsaw, i remember a 5,000 pieces set i helped a teacher with. that was indeed a nightmare. 5,000 pieces ranging from yellow to orange... -.-" oh, and that was van gogh's painting of the five sunflowers. well, that was what i remembered anyway. done in a week. :) that was quite a feat, since that was primary school. :D *prouddddd*
