I can't rembember if 6 or 9 months, mostly due to the logistic difficulty of using three different wooden boards to support the gigantic puzzle.
The 12000 pieces took her 3 months, but it had a much lower surface.

First I do the edge of the puzzle and then do the "Scan each piece, write a quick app that will work out which goes with which" with just my brain. I go after patterns, e.g. I often do puzzles with wolves and a forest or sth like that, so I do the edge and then go after the furr, the furr leads to the face and so on..
Is this that uncommon?

I think that would be the "divide and conquer" approach.
|
|

Common? Uncommon?
That depends a lot upon the people you hang around with and how many of them have furry faces.

Um well, I don't know how to describe it properly, but I used it like "Okay, that's one strange thing to conclude from my text."
You can use it in various ways but here's the meaning according to Urban Dictionary.
"Flexing" normally means to brag about something, but my friends also use it in it's literal meaning.
I hope this helps

It helps, but does so in a rather depressing sort of way.
Basically, it appears to mean nothing at all as it's meaning is not even clear to you, a user. More or less a lexicographical abortion.
Or, perhaps for Egg-shaped dwellers in wonderland, to wit: This[^]

First off: Wow, wtf did I just read. 
Actually, I meant, I can't describe it properly, because I can't find the proper words for it and if it's really comprehensible for you.

That's one awful german sentence. Don't take everything too seriously
|
|

I once had my German described by a native German speaker - apparently using a common term for how American's speak: "Bubble-Gum Deutsch".
He didn't make clear if he was referring to the word order (as in my previous post) or accent, but my accent for most languages I attempt is usually complimented
As for taking things seriously? I greatly recommend you follow the path of schizophrenia. It has certainly worked out well for me. If you spend enough time in the CP Lounge, you'll find I'm part of a vast legion devoted to that honored path.

I've never heard of "Bubble-Gum Deutsch", but I was referring to your grammar 
Aren't we all a bit schizophren with a slight touch of masochism?

As the Good Book says: All Haynes Book Of Lies: Assembly is the reverse of disassembly*
So just unmix the parts and you'll be back to the whole image.
Simples!
* They never included the footnote: "Except for the two dozen small ball bearings that fell out when you removed the cover that you have no idea where they came from. Good luck getting those suckers back in place, assuming you can work out where it was ... Please note that all illustrations are from a different model (or perhaps make) to your vehicle and won't help in the slightest."

Problem solving skills?
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yeah, it's problem solving skill. But I am still not able to connect the context specifically to Hardware-Software.

If you come to a place where a machine that you didn't create or programmed is not working...
you have to first get an overview, group things that can act together, try to isolate the error what many times ends up with a try-error approach to find out which of the components is really giving the problem.
Pretty similar to the "generalization" of solving a puzzle.

Jigsaw is also a tool that cuts wood, thus "hardware". OP's attempt at being funny?
Before "jigsaw" puzzles were made of cardboard, they were made of wood. The wood cutting tool, known as a Jigsaw has a thin blade allowing intricate cuts to be made.
According to Google, they were first known as dissected puzzles and were then called "jigsaw" puzzles after the tool's name sometime in the later 1800's.
Edit: I re-read your OP, and realized that you probably already knew this.

I read the remainder of the thread and your subsequent posts.
I don't mean to be mean, but perhaps you are "missing something".
