Factors influencing completion time:
* Experience: Experienced puzzlers tend to be much faster.
* Complexity of the puzzle: Detailed images with similar colors or patterns are harder and take longer.
* Time dedicated: Someone working on the puzzle for an hour a day will take much longer than someone working on it for several hours daily.
* Puzzle type: Some puzzles, like those with unusual shapes or unconventional images, can be more challenging.
* Personal pace: Some people prefer a slow, methodical approach, while others are faster and more impulsive.
General estimates:
* Beginners: Could take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.
* Experienced puzzlers: May complete it in a few days to a week.
Remember: Enjoy the process! There's no need to rush, especially for your first thousand-piece puzzle.
Instead of focusing on the time, focus on the satisfaction of completing it and the enjoyment of the process.
