It is also measured by the quality of the visual, the intelligence of the cutting, the ability to capture the puzzler meter after meter, without getting tired.

How far will they go? No one knows. But one thing is certain: as long as there are dreamers crazy enough to assemble them, the race for the world’s greatest puzzle is only beginning.
