**************************************
 
During our community meeting in the north of Hannover, we performed a so-called "Turntable Marathon" with about 17 500-pcs.-puzzles and participants. The boxes are placed on a long row of tables and all participants sat down in front of one box. It's on each person's turn to assort and assemble as many pieces as possible within 15 minutes - then we stood up and moved to the next place (sometimes we had to overleap 1 or 2 jigsaw puzzles). These are the 7 jigsaw puzzles I worked on
