<span style="font-size: large;">A difficult but do-able personalized photo jigsaw puzzle. The pieces of
the Challenger Jigsaws are handcrafted by an experienced puzzle maker
utilizing their skills and imagination...<br /><br />To start off with,
forget about starting the puzzle with the traditional straight edge
borders. Challenger Jigsaws have irregular borders which contain
"Outies" (knob/tab), the penetrating puzzle piece and "Innies", the
holes into which they fit.<br /><br />The "inside" of the puzzle contains a
conglomeration of puzzle pieces including false straight edge and corner
pieces to confuse the most indulgent puzzler. Now add a confusing
variety of "Outies" and "Innies" puzzle pieces that do not appear to fit
together. A challenge to be sure!</span></div>
