A guy solves a single-color jigsaw puzzle by taking pictures of each piece and programming a computer to solve it for him. And then programming a robot to put each piece into place.
The best part was putting the pieces into a tumbler to soften the rough edges, then getting surprised that the pieces also shrunk a bit in the process.
You know, twenty years ago I would've called this guy the craziest person on the Internet. But now he ain't even top ten. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
