Title: Puzzles, Games, and Fun Facts
Post by: Faith on August 21, 2013, 05:20:36 PM
This thread will be for puzzles, games, and fun facts.  I will start it off with a jigsaw puzzle.  This is a screen cap I got on 1/10/2012 of a Decorah Eagle parent's talons.  An eagle's toes are numbered as follows:  The back, rear-facing toe (the hallux) is #1;  the innermost forward facing toe is #2;  the next toe (the middle one of the forward toes) is #3;  and the outermost front-facing toe is #4.

Thank you jfrancl!  That's a great crossword puzzle!

Glog, you can click on the time clock on the left if you have an interruption.  That will stop the clock until you return. :)

The picture I used for the next puzzle is of Dad Decorah on 3/7/2012.  It show his nictitating membrane (the transparent 3rd eyelid) beginning to sweep across his eye. The purpose of the membrane is to clean and protect the eye.  I hope you can see it - it shows up much better in the full size picture.  The reduced size of a photo used in Jigzone makes the details kind of hard to see.

ok...I'm beginning to decide that my purpose here is to make you all feel good. :D  Now, do I have to tell you my time on this one?  I mean, look...I started doing it about 3:00 am.  That was after waking up after falling asleep with my computer on my lap, half-sitting up, so I thought, "I'll do this puzzle real quick." ;D  Ok...wince....44:04.  When I passed Pagent's time, with only about 10-15 pieces put together, I took my time but decided I WOULD finish it.  Aren't I supposed to get better at doing these?  Course it's just my 2nd one.  I'm used to normal looking puzzles and it's been awhile. (Glog is reaching for excuses).  ;D

Lol Glog, don't give up!  It takes some time to get used to the odd shaped pieces.  The next time I post a jigsaw puzzle, I will use normal pieces so you can work up to it gradually.  Or fyi, you can change the puzzle cut if you want to when you're on the jigzone page.  :D

ok. I'm finally back here.  Going to do a puzzle.  Looks like I've missed a few already in the past 48 hrs.  Geez.   Alright, Pagent - I'm heading off to do the Decorah Fish Hatchery one. (See you in a bit....will maybe longer than a bit...well...you know... ;D, an hour or so?  That cut looks mean again to me...... :o).

ok ok...Whew..well....11:35.  Better....with the average being 9:09.  AND - got the cat one on the 4th try.

Walton - I found the Snipe.  I did this one earlier in Cheers.  It took a about 2 minutes but finally found it.  I had to Google what a snipe was though before finding it.  :D

jf - enjoyed the crossword puzzle too. Haven't done the "find-a-word" yet.  I enjoy those.

good quiz the two word ones were hardest for me but diaper pins was one of the easier for me lol

Abbie- I usually try to do a puzzle from the middle out instead of boarder first as to not have to move so many pieces. Usually there is some kind of point in the middle i fix on and build it first, thats not to say I am a record setter but it usually helps my times.

The rainy day, water on the camera lens, made an interesting sight.  I captured the screen and made a puzzle out of it.  It turned out to be fairly tough, I did it in 13:46

As most of you will have figured out by now I am a jigsaw puzzle nut.  I went nuts today and did a picture of the wintry nest in 184 piece crazy.  I was definitely crazy, it took me 28:42.  I'll put it here and if you have time to waste, after the Christmas holidays are over, it will be here.

Hi Puzzle fans!  I have a question... why do we have two puzzle threads?  wouldn't it be easier to have just one?  lol
Title: Re: Puzzles, Games, and Fun Facts
Post by: jpalmken on January 21, 2014, 06:23:39 AM
ra, let me try to explain your question, as I see it.  People were putting puzzles in various threads so in May of 2012 Nora got a fine idea and posted this, starting a new thread in the Decorah Lounge.  As everything else there it was off topic relating to the Decorah Eagles.  I think the original idea was you could add puzzles under your name and some of us did (see page 1 of the "Puzzles for wild cam addicts" thread- Iver removed his list of puzzles)

Here's a thread for Iver and anyone's puzzles so we can find them all

(http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w40/CountryLass_photos/A-puzzle.gif)

In 2013 the chat moderators started two threads an education thread and an entertainment thread.  Faith started it off with this post.

This thread will be for puzzles, games, and fun facts.  I will start it off with a jigsaw puzzle.  This is a screen cap I got on 1/10/2012 of a Decorah Eagle parent's talons.  An eagle's toes are numbered as follows:  The back, rear-facing toe (the hallux) is #1;  the innermost forward facing toe is #2;  the next toe (the middle one of the forward toes) is #3;  and the outermost front-facing toe is #4.

http://www.jigzone.com/puzzles/EF1624879F4?z=23

I think it was meant to be built around the topic of Decorah Eagles but little has been posted there except jigsaw puzzles.  I am careful to post only eagle picture puzzles in that thread.  All other puzzles I post in the Wild cam thread.  That is my understanding but I have been wrong before.
Title: Re: Puzzles, Games, and Fun Facts
Post by: Faith on January 21, 2014, 06:31:30 AM
Good questions, Ra.  When I started this thread I envisioned all types of puzzles, games, and fun facts.  Jigsaws, word searches, crosswords, etc.  It has been mostly jigsaw puzzles, and that is okay.  Whatever people enjoy! :)  And as it turned out jigsaw puzzles seem to be the easiest kind to post in a forum like this. ;)

And what jpalmken said!
Title: Re: Puzzles, Games, and Fun Facts
Post by: jpalmken on January 21, 2014, 07:29:02 AM

When I captured this  in February, 2012, it was extremely windy and Mom was hunkered down on the eggs of D12 and D13.  I thought it was unique and I have not seen such wind ruffled feathers since.  I decided to make it a puzzle.  13:54

My time, 8:23! I am the fastest! Yes! (Of course, I may be only the second person to try this puzzle, and everybody else is going to trample my time like an eagle mauling a cornstalk!) ;D

I thought your play on words for the turkey puzzle in the wild cam addicts thread was excellent.  On this one we will wait for the expert (ra and bischue) to set the really best times.  My time 6:41.

Faith, Mom is most photogenic.  Some really wonderful snaps in the zooming yesterday evening.  I got the whole session on video.

Thank you for the puzzle Faith. I'm not very good at them. Is there a way anyone else can upload a puzzle too?

First you set up a username/password. A picture you use has a size limit, but I've found if it's one I've saved from on-line it works fine.  These directions sound confusing, but take it step by step and it's easy once you do it.

Log in to Jigzone
Go to home page if not already there
Click on "Your Jigzone Area"
Choose an album & click on it
Choose a photo & click "Share" (or add a photo, then click share)
Under "No embedding, just a link" choose the image size you want and choose "link to puzzle page"
Under "Link to the puzzle gallery click on the underlined link.
Now, choose your puzzle cut & then choose a photo (again)
It will take you to the puzzle you have chosen and you can copy the url to paste in the forum.

In the nest yesterday afternoon the indigenous troops were manning the back ramparts.  Mom was calling for reinforcements.  It was a grand Memorial Day and made me think of our dear U.S.A.  So, here is a puzzle.  6:17.   I had trouble when I got into New England.

This is a memory puzzle.  Always, for me, D14 will be foremost in my thoughts.  Can you imagine what we might have learned had we been able to follow his movements as we do D1?   8:55

jpalmken... Good idea!  You might try leaving a Forum PM/message with Amy (mrsfalcon), or one of the DE Mods (Pagent is one), and ask them if they would contact Robin with your request and your contact info and see if Robin might reply back to you directly.  That would be really cool if she would give you permission to make a puzzle for RRP Forum out of one of her photos.

Nora, I'm not really sure .. It may have been Robin,  There isn't any name on the botom of the photo.
Maybe you could ask Boomer, or naimjo?  I've had the photo for quite awhile now.

The "PUZZLES for the wild cam addicts" thread is locked.  Faith says it is O.K. to post puzzles unrelated to eagles in this thread so, since we are now in the Fall season I have this puzzle for the red maple leaves in Minnesota this year. I did it in the triangle cut but it took me 26:00 so I suggest you chose your own preferred cut.

On the triangle cut, I sort all the pieces out and then make squares with triangles, matching them.  Then I put them together into the puzzle.  That is how I get times in the 26:00 area.  Someone solved it in 16 odd minutes , that is a really short time

Nora - That's a great puzzle from the pic Claudette was so nice to let you use for this.  Great pic, too.  For some reason, this puzzle isn't letting me grab and move puzzle pieces, though the clock starts when I try to.  So I'm not able to work it.  I haven't had that problem before.  Do you have any ideas about what might be causing that?
Title: Re: Puzzles, Games, and Fun Facts
Post by: Nora in IA on October 07, 2014, 02:20:53 PM
That happened to me one time, not with this one.  Have you tried closing and reopening it?  Are you using a mouse or pad on laptop or ?  My mouse wasn't right clicking in FaceBook last night and when I closed it and reopened it, it worked.

If anyone else has trouble too, let me know.

Post by: jpalmken on October 07, 2014, 06:48:54 PM
I have always had trouble with lizards.  I have trouble getting the mouse on the little pieces and I lose control while the clock still runs.  For some reason today was a good day and I got Mom Decorah in 13:44.  That reminds me I worked a puzzle of the pine oak leaves turning red using 184 piece crazy.  Talk about little pieces and the mouse, that one took me  40:37.

Thanks for the ideas and info, Nora.  I re-tried that lizard cut again after reading your post, and I'm having the same trouble.  At least I know that has happened to others before.  Thanks for your post on that, jpalmken.  I'm using a hard-wired mouse on my desktop PC.  Hmmm... it's a head-scratcher... LOL.  I will probably try a couple of things to see if I can straighten out the issue.  I'll let you know if I solve it.  Thanks again!  I really enjoy this thread.   :)  Have a good evening, all!

As a result of a weather system near the Yucatan peninsula we have had heavy rain for two days.  Good weather for working puzzles.  So I took the local weather radar and made it into a puzzle.  Since I had a lot of time I used triangles and did it in 21:04.  Should you try it I recommend a cut of less pieces.

I got bogged down in gray lizards.  If I had 7 of one shape I had to go by trial and it seemed it was always the last one, the seventh vacant spot,  that fit.  Then on to the same problem with the remaining 6.  Oh well, I finished it.  20:05, and I enjoyed it.

I have been working on a 400 piece fractal puzzle in my Brainsbreaker program.  Perhaps you could help me with it as I am down to where most of the pieces are gray.

Had some trouble with the little single pieces.  13:20

13:52  Enjoyed this, but I had a hard time making out the small design in top left corner.  Anyone else have this issue with "dense" designs?  It's just too small for me to discern where parts of the design start and stop.  I think it was Nora, or maybe someone else, who suggested letting the puzzle auto-complete to get a larger view of the puzzle, and then open another window to work it.  But that forces me to toggle between two windows while working the puzzle.  I don't seem to have this issue with many of the designs, but  I sure did with this one.  It's a pretty puzzle, but I think I'm getting eyestrain... lol... Any suggestions anyone?  (I'm using a 17-in widescreen monitor and can't afford to go buy a larger one just to work puzzles... LOL)

ra - Thanks, but it's not the size of the pieces that I have trouble with... it's being able to see the picture in the upper left corner of what the result is supposed to look like... that upper left corner picture is too small for me to see the detail in the design-rich puzzles.  I'm not having any problem with the puzzle pieces themselves... yet anyway.

Would you be able to post the link to the Fractal Butterfly, please?  I didn't find it with the picture you posted.

jpalmken, LOL.  No way that you are too old!  I saw your Fractal Butterfly and Tiger times, and I wouldn't even try that tiger after I had so much trouble with the butterfly - even though they were so pretty.  LOL.  For some reason I don't have trouble with the triangle shapes, but I sure do with the stars! I don't think it has anything to do with age.  :)

I don't blame you JP.  I tried their daily puzzle in the next one down figuring it would take less time than the one I did here and I got to bed later than I wanted to, but danged if I was going to shut it  :D

Title: Re: Puzzles, Games, and Fun Facts
Post by: baziunc on November 18, 2014, 12:52:05 PM
jpalmken, I think I misunderstood your post about the triangles puzzle...  You must have been talking about that whopper of a 240-piece puzzle Nora posted the link to.  I thought you were talking about triangles in general.  Yep, I don't blame you either, and I'm probably not going to tackle it either.  LOL.

Nora, you have a lot of perseverence... LOL...  I used to finish reading books I wasn't enjoying, because I was determined to finish what I started.  But I discovered the joy of putting them down and out of my mind and moving on to something else.  Ha ha.  And, jpalmken, you may be right after all!  :D :D  (meaning that I think I got to the stage where I said life is too short - in terms of not finishing books I didn't enjoy.  LOL)

Nora, That 240 piece puzzle floored me.  I  am a shape person, find colors very difficult, but I love challenges so I tackled the Fractal Pinks Blues.  I am not kidding. My time was 117:10. I finally had to sort them out by shapes and then attack.  That was not much help.  I will never go near that cut again.

It sounds like a lot of steps, but once you do it, it's not hard and just becomes automatic  ;)

Go to http://www.jigzone.com and sign in.

Click on "upload your photos"  You have to create an album.  The past that opens gives you some pointers too.

Scroll down and click "continue"

Click "choose photo(s)" and then upload

Your album page opens and go over and click the "share" button

Scroll down to "link to the puzzle gallery" and click on your album name

Pick your puzzle cut (above the thumbnails)

Go to the thumbnail for your puzzle and click to open it

Highlight and copy the "address" at the top and paste the link into a post.  (And if you get stuck on anything give us a holler!)

I got bogged down in gray lizards.  If I had 7 of one shape I had to go by trial and it seemed it was always the last one, the seventh vacant spot,  that fit.  Then on to the same problem with the remaining 6.  Oh well, I finished it.  20:05, and I enjoyed it.

91-piece lizards  15:45  (There is a gray border on the right and left sides if that helps you  ;) )

http://www.jigzone.com/puzzles/57167EC20A4?z=27

15:14. This time I could move the lizards.  First time I tried this puzzle, I couldn't move the pieces.  It looks like it only has my time though.  I wonder if these puzzles "expire" after a while and don't store times after a certain point.  My time showed also as the fastest and average times.

LOL ra!  That will be a lo-o-o-o-ong wait!   :D :D  I've worked back to page 50-something-or-other...  but I don't think I will go all the way back to page 1!!!  It's not my plan anyway.  LOL.  I'm only working backwards because not many new puzzles have been posted over the Thanksgiving holiday.  I hope Nora, and jpalmken, our two regular puzzle-makers here, are enjoying the long weekend.  Nora was kind enough to post the instructions on how to make a puzzle using jigzone, but it was a bit more involved than I thought it would be, and required logging in (I assume that means regisdtering and creating an account) at jigzone, which is something I don't really want to do.  LOL.  So I'm at the mercy of other kind people who post links to puzzles here.  I have seen some jigzone puzzles posted in other threads, and I'm not sure why they aren't getting posted in this puzzles thread... I guess those are posted by people who don't really use this thread.

Nora, what a bunch of goodies.  I will tackle them before long.  Lani sent me this a a birthday present.  She wanted to put it in the Wild Cam thread but, of course, it is locked so I put it here.  My time 16:22

I was looking at a picture of them earlier today and thought they'd really gone overboard compared to other years.  Maybe more abundant close by?  Seems to me the field by the nest was corn this year.  Difference in weather perhaps?  Thanks JP.

Baz did you upload the picture to your own JigZone?  Also, you have to click share in column next to it, then say it's from your album, then pick the cut and share it again.  THEN you can copy/paste the address when you have the puzzle open.  That help any?  You're trying, that's a great start, it took all of us a bit to figure it out  ;)

Nora, thanks for the tips you posted for me a day or so ago about what I should have done to post that fractal jigsaw puzzle.  It was a puzzle already on the jigzone site, so I didn't think I needed to take all those steps you mentioned.  Seems strange that I would need to since it's already there.  Oh well...
Title: Re: Puzzles, Games, and Fun Facts
Post by: Nora in IA on December 17, 2014, 11:31:35 PM
Oh ok, not sure when it's on jigzone already unless it sets the cut.  This is an experiment....if it works I'll tell you how I did it.

Post by: Nora in IA on December 17, 2014, 11:38:44 PM
Ok that worked.  I opened the one I wanted and chose the cut I wanted.  Below the puzzle it says "embed this puzzle".  Click "options".  Make sure it's on the cut you want, click "link to puzzle page, and then I copied the link.  It showed up faintly with a faint arrow in the post, but if you click that it takes you to the puzzle in your cut.  Maybe there is another way, but couldn't find it.

***OTHERWISE there is a share option or you can e-mail it to yourself and get the link that way, that might be the easiest.

Nora, you have way more patience than I do.  LOL.  I found the "embed this puzzle" and tried to use that, but I didn't do it the way you did, and mine didn't work.  In your post about the 87-piece crazy Lone Palm, there is no url in the post and the picture does not appear for me, but I know it's there because my mouse pointer found it in the "blank space" in that post, and I could click on it, which took me to that puzzle at  http://www.jigzone.com/puzzles/55055D555148?z=4

Thank you.  I'm going to work that Lone Palm/87-piece crazy  http://www.jigzone.com/puzzles/55055D555148?z=4 , and then your Tap/79-piece bricks http://www.jigzone.com/mpc/view.php?8F4E7HZ.004

It's been up there quite awhile, but, this morning I watched the International Space Station (ISS)
pass over the ol' burg!  First time I had a chance to watch with clear skies, and I couldn't believe how easy it was to see.  You should check it out.
NASA has a sign-up (your zipcode) and will email you time, direction on horizon to watch, and degree of arc overhead, plus how many minutes it takes to cross from horizon to horizon.  It's pretty cool, I think!!
You can watch earth from the ISS too, on Ustream no less.  That's my alternative view-screen if the eagles aren't around!

You can watch earth from the ISS too, on Ustream no less.  That's my alternative view-screen if the eagles aren't around!

eburg!   :) That ISS-to-Earth cam is pretty cool, isn't it?  I try to keep up with what's happening at NASA and watch the ISS pass overhead when I get the chance.  It's orbit is not so high, so it is easy to see if you have clear skies when it's orbit is overhead at night, especially when the moon is not near it.  I love it on the rare occasion that I get to show it to one of my neighborhood kids, too.  I most recently got to see it pass over my place about a week and a half ago, or so...  I don't know why, but I really enjoy watching it... maybe because when I was a little kid, my dad would take me out at night to watch Sputnik traverse our night sky!

I work puzzles better with the shapes being the main difference.  If the shapes are generally the same I do not do as well because I do not differentiate hues too well.  Any how here is an interesting game that is all hues.  My best score is 10  (click o the odd color)

Interesting, JP!  I tried it and scored a 25.  I didn't realize I was being timed till the time ran out while I was viewing one of the pages.  LOLOL!  I would have answered faster if I had known time is a factor in the test!  :D :D  I have no idea what the highest possible score is - does it just keep going as long as the clock is ticking down?  Or is there a limited number of screens on the test making it possible to make a selection on every possible screen before the time runs out?  LOL - I'm sorry for so many questions - I don't even know if you know all those ins and outs of that game/test... LOL.   I'm not sure if there is a page that helps to interpret my score.  Any info you have about that to share?  Either way, it was fun.  So thanks!  :)

Two days ago, in the afternoon, Dad was in charge.  The three were very active but Dad went to work and stuffed them until they all flopped face down in a food coma.  Weary Dad could not keep his eyes open and I caught him calling this shot "Sleepy Time Dad"

50 piece Tri-Clip.  My time 4:32.  I leave what it finally looks like to your completing the puzzle, no advance picture.

This afternoon I caught Mom on the nest with her head on backwards.  She must have been looking for the little guys because they are nowhere to be seen and are far too big to be hiding under or behind Mom.  A puzzlement.  It's further amazing that JigZone took the picture right away.  Bricks.  For some reason JigZone did not record my time.  14:08

I have given up on JigZone.  I sent them 2 e-mails asking about the trouble putting a picture in and they never answered.  I have 400+ pictures in my page so I will just rework some with a different cut.  Unfortunately there won't be many from this year's nest and no recent ones.  I may post one or two in here from time to time but I hope never one that is too fresh from previous posting here.

Here is Mom, near N1 in February a year ago.  I have worked it in 7 different cuts.  The fastest being 87 crazy at 8:56, the longest being 184 crazy at 32:57.  It presents some challenges where content is paramount rather than shape.  I don't remember posting it before but then my memory leaves a lot to be desired.  Do you suppose that has anything to do with being 91?

No, I just try every once in a while and after several tries it loads.  Early in the morning seems to be a best time.  Also, I had over 400 pictures in one album so I started a new album, I thought maybe that would help.  Who know?

Hope it works!  ::)

Nora, I would still like your directions for uploading and making JigZone puzzles if you know where they are.  They were very helpful when I had them but couldn't upload a photo.  I thought I had saved them, but I can't find them now.  Then today - Surprise! - I was able to upload a photo for the first time, but couldn't find the instructions from you on the order of steps to make the puzzle.  Seems like I remember your notes saying to do some things I don't think I did in the right order at all.  I really just got lucky, I think.

D21 was wingercising and his wings covered the whole nest.  I snipped but caught him/her as the wings were coming in.  He/she was walking all over the nest while the other two rested.  stars  11:27

I'd say you've "got it" Baz!  ;)  Am working them now.  Here you go...

Go to http://www.jigzone.com and sign in.

Click on "upload your photos"  You have to create an album.  The past that opens gives you some pointers too.

Scroll down and click "continue"

Click "choose photo(s)" and then upload

Your album page opens and go over and click the "share" button

Scroll down to "link to the puzzle gallery" and click on your album name

Pick your puzzle cut (above the thumbnails)

Go to the thumbnail for your puzzle and click to open it

Highlight and copy the "address" at the top and paste the link into a post.

Thanks, Nora!  I didn't do it that way, but I am going to try your steps on the next pic I upload there!  I'm going to save your instructions this time, too.  :D

I think the three eaglets this year have been the best behaved of any of the last years.  Very little bonking, a lot of being close and not too pushy at feeding time.  This is a good example of the well behaved, patiently waiting their turn.

And that's what it's for BH, having fun.  If a shape is too hard, just change it to something you like working with.  On the left side where it says "change cut" you can click on that and move your mouse to a different shape for the pieces and click on the one you want to try.  :)

Mine was $3500. They said I will have no scars to worry about. But there is a little crater in my forehead, just where the impact was. I can't imagine how the skull can be so soft to dent like that.

I made a puzzle out of it but had to crop it.  JigZone, which is extremely difficult to insert new pictures lately, pefers pictures in the 400 x 300 pixel ratio,  I finally got it in and present it here although this thread is normally for eagle type .  Have you tried the "Puzzles For The Wild Cam Addicts" thread?

This has been an ignored puzzle thread.  In my case because I  could not get organized and Jigzone would not let me post pictures.  I did get a few recent ones into the program so here is one.  Stuffing the Kids 4-21-17.  51 piece Crazy.  4:13 (My time.  It did not post in Jigzone)

I had not heard that so I went here when I got an eagle picture (finally) into Jigzone but it makes sense unless you are into eagle puzzles and have no interest in others.   Maybe we need to check with Faith as I think she started this with games and stuff, not just puzzles,  in mind.

Forgive me for still reminiscing.  D14 affected my life and I have been a Decorah follower since but I have never had an eaglet that I felt was the equal.  He lived on the edge and here he is, just hatched and on his back showing us his little feet.  41 piece Tetris. 9:19 (My time did not post)

Baz... Are you evacuating?  Hope you stay safe!


ra, yes.  I did evacuate in advance of Hurricane Florence, and was safe at my sister's home - and Zippo, my Senegal parrot evacuated with me - a big trip for her, but she handled it well.   :)  I was very, very lucky to have no damage to my home except a blown electrical curcuit - the result of wind-blown water getting into an outside receptacle and shorting it out.  Many, many, many large trees fell around my area, and there was a lot of wind-blown debris, but somehow none of it hit my home except the small stuff that made a mess but did no damage.  And flooding did not reach me, thank goodness.  So many people in so many places suffered mightily from the storm, and many will for a long time.  My heart and prayers go out to them, and to all who have been affected by so much severe weather in so many places.
