Don't let the deceptively similar pieces of this Topographic Puzzle fool you into thinking it's easy or poorly planned out. In truth, this 18" X 13" block of wood may take up to hours to solve because the pieces are visually so indistinguishable from one another.
The Topographic Puzzle comes to us courtesy of Etsy seller Artios, who charged $445 for the mahogany marvel. The puzzle itself was made to resemble a mountain range and is held inside a maple frame.
Those looking to buy the Topographic Puzzle for themselves will be disappointed to learn that Artios already sold the one-of-a-kind jigsaw to a very fortunate buyer, but admirers of the puzzle can still look at the pictures or better yet try to build one on their own.
