The CK Daily – How Do You Puzzle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To puzzle or not to puzzle? And if to puzzle, do you puzzle correctly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My family and I recently spent a few days with friends at the beach, and during that time some of us worked to finish a 1,000-piece puzzle of a beach scene. I enjoy puzzles, but at home in my everyday life, I don\u2019t always have time to work on them. It was nice to focus on something fun and different from the usual. We picked up this particular puzzle at a thrift store on Friday, and I really wanted to finish it before we left on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get something done quickly, you need to be efficient, right? In my mind there is a standard way to do puzzles\u2014with a few acceptable variations I\u2019ve encountered over the years when puzzling with friends. I feel like there\u2019s only one way to start: the edges. If you don\u2019t agree with that, you should probably stop reading. \ud83d\ude1c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My next move is to separate an identifiable color or section of the puzzle. Then I start to pay close attention to color nuances so I can get the right pieces into the right area. If I\u2019m working with just the colors for that section, I\u2019ll use the picture first to find where pieces go, and sometimes I\u2019ll use the shapes if they\u2019re unique. I don\u2019t feel like this is unusual, and I\u2019ve taught my children the same method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to the arrival of our friends and the need for more hands to get this thing done before we left: my friend, who is an avid puzzler (she almost always has one going), started separating the final 200\u2013300 pieces into shapes\u20140 nubs, 1 nub, 2 nubs, 3 nubs, and 4 nubs. I was in shock. Who does a puzzle this way!? She reorganized my nuanced color piles into these nub piles and even got my kids in on the action. face palm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this point I was pretty distracted because I was packing up in between puzzling, so I allowed this craziness to happen (haha). They did finish pretty quickly. But it made me start wondering\u2014maybe my way isn\u2019t as standard as I thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you puzzle? Do you puzzle correctly? What\u2019s your method?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the day, I enjoyed the time and laughs with our friends and the kiddos. And of course, there\u2019s the satisfaction of taking chaos and making order\u2014that\u2019s the real heart of puzzling for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the puzzle we completed. It is a White Mountain brand, which is one of my favorites!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning Center Article – What Is a Rack Unit (RU)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re building up networking or server equipment, it\u2019s common to mount everything on racks. The racks seem like they have the same sizing and hole placements, and that\u2019s because these things are actually standardized across industries. Because of these standards, many things are measured in \u201cU.\u201d For instance, you might see a 2U server. To understand exactly what that means and what you can do with this information, it\u2019s important to explore the concept of a rack unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
