Pro Puzzler

It may not make the guiness book of world records but Parker would be making Uncle Bart happy with his puzzle skills.

My Uncle Bart every year at Christmas time would put together a puzzle. Whenever we would see him for Christmas or New Years he could be found piecing together a 500 or 1000 piece puzzle. Occasionally family members would join in but impatience would get the best of them. Parker would have loved Uncle Bart as he has discovered a love for puzzles. He will sit at the computer for hours putting together church puzzles. Out of curiosity I decided to time him. Results varied but his best (without help but with plenty of distractions) was 1 min 53 seconds on a Joseph Smith puzzle with 20 pieces. Not to be outdone I made an attempt to best his time and came up with a time of 1 min 12 seconds (no distractions but plenty of limitations).

Where does he get it from? Perhaps there is a little Uncle Bart in him, but other than that is a puzzle that we haven't pieced together quite yet!
