Pieces of corruption


Puzzles... a pleasant pastime, in my eyes, beneficial to your intelligence and all around just a great thing to do. But what about when the puzzle companies try to screw you over? What then?!
I recently was doing a puzzle. I saw the box and it was a big lion face, which I thought would be a fun challenge because all the colours were similar, yet you could follow the way the hair in the mane went and such to still get it done. However, after completing the puzzle outline and trying to make out where the top and bottom of it was, I found myself puzzled (no pun intended... okay maybe just a tad). The puzzle really didn't match up with the picture on the box at all. So I continued to work on it, until I finally concluded that there was no way on earth the puzzle was the same picture as on the box. When I finished, it was clear that the box was a filthy liar... while they were both photos of lions, they were completely different photos. And, while examining closer (as only I would do), I found that they aren't even the same lion! That, my friends, is what we in the puzzle hobby call a huge scam. Kidding. But still, so silly.
Hope your puzzling'z better than mine,
Teagan
