Solutions to puzzles may require recognizing [[patterns]] and creating a particular order. People with a high [[inductive]] [[reasoning]] [[aptitude]] may be better at solving these puzzles than others. Puzzles based on the [[process]] of [[inquiry]] and [[discovery]] to complete may be solved faster by those with good [[deduction]] skills.

The first [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigsaw_puzzle jigsaw puzzle] was created around 1760, when John Spilsbury, a British engraver and mapmaker, mounted a map on a sheet of wood that he then sawed around each [[individual]] country. Spilsbury used the product to aid in teaching [[geography]]. After catching on with the wider [[public]], this remained the primary use of jigsaw puzzles until about 1820.

[[Union]] with [[God]] is, in the [[eternal]] scale of things, an event just
 +
now at your fingertips. At least this is true subsequent to
 +
making the [[supreme decision]] regarding your [[relationship]] with
 +
God and the service of his [[love]]. With this decision behind you
 +
though, there is a whole new array of [[adjustments]] to be made.
 +
These are numerous, and, in a sense is like this: prior to your
 +
supreme choice, your spiritual [[progress]] is like a jigsaw puzzle
 +
where all the parts are still in the box, and all the [[potential]] is
 +
there for [[attainment]]. Your supreme decision is equivalent to
 +
spilling the pieces out onto the table.

By the early [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_century 20th century], magazines and newspapers found that they could increase their daily subscriptions by publishing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puzzle_contest puzzle contests].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puzzle]
+
Now begins a great process of assembly. Yet, without opening
 +
the box, none of the adjustments could be made. To have lifted
 +
the lid is the most important thing and begins the [[inevitable]]
 +
attainment of union, that of assembling, [[perceiving]], and in this
 +
case, [[becoming]] that big picture. This is an event of eternal
 +
[[consequence]], and its [[time]] orientation is insignificant [[relative]] tothe eternal ramifications. Diligent and careful work in
 +
[[cooperation]] with God brings the event nearer at hand. Your
 +
hankering for this will in no way bring you any closer to the
 +
event itself, but your [[alignment]] with [[truth]], your love for [[beauty]],
 +
and your living [[goodness]] will go further in bringing about this
 +
event than merely wanting it. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1998-11-29-Renewal#Fusion Lantarnek]
