Hey awesome I have the same puzzle!
But I'm missing 499 pieces of the 500. Sucks but cool!
Ok_Recover_5807 OP t1_ja0h5zi wrote
Please give me my piece back.

Honestly, if you enjoy puzzles you end up in a masochistic situation like this sooner or later.
My wife and I have a round puzzle with a similar piece structure that’s a high res image of the moon. Just gradients of grey and white. That’s why the sister puzzle of earth has yet to be opened.

When I do puzzles, I always put one piece in a safe, hidden place. That way, no matter what, I'll always be the one to complete it. Question EVERYONE CIA style! Someone in your life may be just as degenerate as me!

I'll get my lamp to interrogate everyone and everything around me.
forever_useless t1_ja0f5f6 wrote
Start with interrogating the lamp so you know if it can be trusted

You have to break its spirit by getting it to say it has 5 lights when it is clearly a 4-light lamp.
doctorhino t1_ja0cawx wrote
So you just have to guess where every piece goes because there are no image clues? That looks miserable.
Ok_Recover_5807 OP t1_ja0cgcy wrote
There is a smaller picture on the box
wherethebicenroam t1_ja0dy1j wrote
Does it outline the direction of the lines and everything?
Ok_Recover_5807 OP t1_ja0ectt wrote
Yes, but it's quite small.

I would be pissed if I had worked that hard and had a missing piece. Contact the company and send them a photo and have them mail you the piece .

Looks like what you have there is a...
Black hole
I'll see myself out

OP! Call the people that make the puzzle, some offer replacement pieces. My wife spilled a drink that should never have been on the puzzle table and warped 4 pieces. We contacted them, showed them the pieces and placement spots via photo and they sent them to us. I also have two puzzles with a similar approach you might enjoy since you clearly love torture. Pieces decrease in size towards the middle, puzzle is round instead of square and they are high res images - earth and the moon. Obviously you’d have an easier time with a design and colours but if you’re up for another puzzle, I’d look for those.

Hah, the irritation is palpable!

It's perfect the way it is.
Ok_Recover_5807 OP t1_ja0ejxj wrote
It's the wa I'm going to frame it.
MetaCardboard t1_ja0evck wrote
I see wha you did there.
SteveCastle t1_ja0qu9q wrote
I unironically think framing it like this makes it more visually and artistically interesting. Put a little title plaque underneath it -- "The Void" or something similar. If anyone asks, tell them you walked into the woods naked on a moonless night and ate the final piece.
Other options for the hole could include:
• A lock of your significant other's hair
• Your finger print
• A googly eye
• Pour black sesame seeds into the hole and fix them with glue
• A piece from another puzzle
• The words "You Are Here"
• A "peace" sign
• A picture of a slice of chocolate cake (e.g. "Piece of Cake" scratch-n-sniff sticker)
• Wait until you have a bad scrape of about the right size, let it scab over, peel off the scab and seal it in resin
• "G ↔ ¬Prov(⌜G⌝)"
• A randomly chosen date sometime in the distant but not-too-distant future (when guests ask about the date, refuse to elaborate further)

You should put it over top of a colored board and then frame it, that way the only color that shows is where it's missing.

The missing piece is brown
skateboard_pilot t1_ja0oest wrote
Cool puzzle though. Is there a reason for hanging it upside down?
SuccessfulAnnual7417 t1_ja15wrd wrote
It looks like there is a piece upside down in the picture. It's almost the color as the table.
zxcvrico t1_ja29oks wrote
I feel like whoever manufactured that puzzle is trolling you, because anyone who would make a solid black puzzle, would also sell a puzzle missing a piece 😂

Hello darkness, my old friend
im_at_a_loss_4026 t1_ja19y07 wrote
I slide a piece of card stock underneath, trace, then cut several copies. Glue them together until I get the thickness of the surrounding pieces. Color the piece to fit the background.

The piece is in you. Only you can complete the darkness.

The imperfection makes it perfect like us.. hahaha!!
Create an extremely white piece and place it there!
inkcolors t1_ja2fk83 wrote
Cool. Hate discovering a missing piece. I did one that was round, all one shade of yellow except for 4-5 pieces that made a banana sticker. It was called Flat Banana.
Ambitious_Wish7958 t1_ja2lb2j wrote
I would buy one more of the same puzzle, and find the missing piece. Then i'd sell it on ebay again to people whos also missing a piece.

My brother in-law took it. He's always sneaking away a piece until the end just so he can put in the last one. I hate that...
