Some cancer radiation clinics have them and people work on them while they are waiting for their partner to have a treatment. I did that while my wife had her 33 sessions. You would go in and work on it for a while next time it may still be there and someone else had worked on it a while. Makes the time go pretty fast.

Oh yeah, they sure do put those puzzles together. I have a couple of friends who do the 1,000 piece ones all the time and they are about 45 years old or so. Also, I send one every month to my nephew who is currently a guest of the state of Georgia....he loves them and then passes them on to other inmates........not as ancient a hobby as some people like to think.....

When I was undergoing radiation treatment for cancer recently, they always had a jigsaw puzzle going in the waiting room. People would take a minute or two to help put it together. It was quite an enjoyable way to pass the wait and get to have a conversation with others in similar situations.

A lot of people still like doing 1,000 piece puzzles and it is agist to suggest it is only old people who do them. I know many younger people who do them

If my boyfriend and I are bored on a crappy weathered day we will do one. Only the skyline ones those, which we have a bunch of hanging on the wall - looks like posters. I'm 20 he's 25 and we both go to college and live on campus apartments where there's always something going on... but every now and then we'll do something.
So, not just old people! :)

I still do that, I have like an addiction to it, depending on the picture it takes from 1 and 1/2 hour to a week to solve them. After doing so, I frame them. There are a lot of them hanging on my dorm room, parent's house and grandparents' house.

some people do -- I used to but my eyesight isn't good enough any more and I don't have the patience -- must have at least 20 boxes of those type of puzzles upstairs -- maybe will bring them to the retirement home down the block -- I think they work jigsaw puzzles down there .. looking at the other answers maybe the local hospice can use them ... thanks for asking ..

My mother still does them, and she's hardly "old". She had to switch to puzzles on the computer though, because our cats would steal pieces of her real ones!

My step -mom used to do it...in the 80's. LOL She would then glue them and frame them. Personally, I don't have the patience!
