Michael Linton's Bayeux Tapestry: 1066 - A Medieval Mosaic and Puzzles

Road Map Jigsaw Puzzle

Road map is possibly the most challenging of Michael's puzzles and to date still remains unsolved. The object of the puzzle is to join the 73 playing pieces together in such a way that all the circles are linked together.

Imagine that you are the mail-man and you have to deliver a letter to every town (the circles are the towns). The roads have to link the towns together so that it is possible to travel along the roads to every town.

Any shape can be made and it does not matter if roads run off the edge. In fact, it does not even matter if you match a piece with two roads at the edge to a piece with one road. As long as you can get from one town to the next to the next etc., then the puzzle is solved.

This is a very challenging puzzle, so don't expect to be able to solve this one in a couple of hours. Good luck.
