Trial and Error
Read this first before scrolling down. Guess an item from the following clues :
It's near 75% pitch-black, it comes in 1000 pieces, it costs 50 bucks, it's a picture of a really cool scene and it can be framed up!

If you guessed a jigsaw puzzle, you got it right! It's a scene from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas where nearing the end, Jack and Sally met at the curly hill for some kissing. Cadaverous romantic action!
It's somewhat blur, but you get the picture. Hah picture! get it? =X
Right about now, I'm about 30% completion, as you can see from below. I can also safely say that all pieces with illustrations are being pieced up. What's left would be approximately 700 pieces of pitch-black pieces awaiting trial and error.
This is going to take awhile.
Well, actually with all the experience thus far, I found a way to still find fitting pieces efficiently. In this puzzle they only have 2 kinds of pieces, the purely jut-outs and purely cave-ins.(If you know what I mean) So I name the jut-outs "B9"s and cave-ins "Vehgeena"s.(Don't ask me why) There's still the randomness effect with my system but let's not bore you with the details. Approach me if you're interested in my idea, maybe for some similar annoying puzzle you have.
This is will be so gratifying to complete. I bet some people have a 'fix a 5000 piece puzzle' in their '10-things-to-accomplish-before-I-die' list. Oh come on, What's a 5000 piece when you have 700 over pieces of pure trial and error, it's a test of your wits for efficiency too! Just pray I won't go bald pulling all my hair out.
