If you've got a few days (or months) to fill, then perhaps the World's Largest Jigsaw Puzzle is something you'd like to take a try at. The mind-bogglingly large puzzle features an astounding 32,356 pieces and a size that measures 17 feet in length and 6 feet in width.
Once completed, the World's Largest Jigsaw Puzzle features artwork by legendary 20th century artist Keith Haring, whose work in pop art has helped influence a generation of artists. However, before you get to enjoy the fruits of your labour you'll have to complete the endless jigsaw puzzle that comes in weighing at 42 pounds.
While the World's Largest Jigsaw Puzzle might have you a little curious to try it out, it might just be a bit too difficult for some.
