it's puzzling....

 I really like a good jigsaw puzzle with a fun picture and well cut pieces.  500 to 1000 pieces suits me very well.  I even have a puzzle board made for me by a friend years ago.  Right now I have three puzzles on my shelf that I received last Christmas and haven't had time to put together yet.  Maybe I'll get snowed in sometime this winter with nothing else to do?  As I said, I really like a good jigsaw puzzle, but I heard of a puzzle today that 'blows my mind.'  My west coast brother tells me that Costco has for sale a 60,000 piece puzzle, which, when finished would measure 8' by 29', for a mere $600.00.  Further investigation revealed that it is actually sixty 1,000 piece puzzles that can be assembled individually and then joined together at the edges.  

So now I'm wondering, who would buy such a puzzle?  A school maybe or a retirement home or someone planning a really big family reunion?  And assuming you have a large enough group to assemble these sixty individual puzzles in a reasonable amount of time, where and how would you lay them out to connect them? A gym floor maybe or somebody's driveway?  And what if, when you have the whole big puzzle finished, there's a piece missing?
