Its an edge matching puzzle of 36 squares which need to be assembled to show four loops of bugs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/invitation2events.co.uk\/siab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Beg2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/invitation2events.co.uk\/siab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Beg2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/invitation2events.co.uk\/siab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Beg2-300x278.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Artistic Ratings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ratings I have chosen for this puzzle is 4,4,2 compared with 7,7,8 for the jungle puzzle.\u00a0The main reason for the lower value is design considerations. This puzzle has discrete bugs. When the pieces have been cut apart the registration has been slightly out and so some of the bugs at the edges of the pieces have bits missing. When you compare this to the Jungle puzzle where the vines are continuous, and therefore small registration error are not notices.  These two puzzles demonstrate how making the puzzle needs to be considered in the design of the puzzle. As the vines are continuous they allow for manufacturing errors which the discrete bugs do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"collapseomatic \" id=\"id69e121a1bb57b\"  tabindex=\"0\" title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Solution (Spoilers - click to reveal)&lt;\/strong&gt;\"    ><strong>Solution (Spoilers - click to reveal)<\/strong><\/span><div id=\"target-id69e121a1bb57b\" class=\"collapseomatic_content \">\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/invitation2events.co.uk\/siab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BugSol.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/invitation2events.co.uk\/siab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BugSol.jpg 600w, https:\/\/invitation2events.co.uk\/siab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BugSol-300x229.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":176,"template":"","class_list":["post-175","puzzles","type-puzzles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","puzzle_category-matching-edge"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/invitation2events.co.uk\/siab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/puzzles\/175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/invitation2events.co.uk\/siab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/puzzles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/invitation2events.co.uk\/siab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/puzzles"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/invitation2events.co.uk\/siab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/invitation2events.co.uk\/siab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
