  • One of the reasons jigsaw puzzles are fun is because of compounding momentum.
    • At the beginning, you just find corners and edges.
      • This is an easy task, which gives you momentum to start.
    • Then, as you fill in more of the puzzle, it gets easier and easier, in proportion to the number of pieces already correctly positioned.
    • This gives compounding momentum, and momentum feels fun.
    • It starts off hard but with a starter boost of momentum, and then at every step, gets easier until you're done.
