After eight months of work, the puzzle is finally finished. The jigsaw puzzle is 696 cm long, 205 cm high, contains 52,110 pieces and Jean-Pierre worked on it for 1,422 hours.
Jean-Pierre has been making records all his life. He has already broken the world record for mental arithmetic twice and the world record for the largest crossword puzzle published. He also recently attempted the world record for an unpublished crossword puzzle. “Unfortunately, I received the news this week that this will not be accepted because I did not respect a certain rule,” Jean-Pierre regrets.
