Day of the puzzle: These 5 are almost unsolvable

Today, January 29, is International Puzzle Day, which probably only hardcore fans celebrate. They are also the only ones who enjoy these five hardcore puzzles.

Even as a little boy I had no patience for puzzles and preferred to play with other things. But today is International Puzzle Day. For many a reason to celebrate. That's why I'm going to show you five puzzles that are so difficult that even die-hard puzzle fans will pull their hair out and maybe reconsider their hobby.

The name says it all

If Impossible is in the name, you should think twice. Even if it spurs you on and you see it as a challenge. The motive alone gives me a headache. Therefore: Don't do it!

Plain and round... NAY!

If puzzles possess beautifully designed subjects, I can understand the joy of this hobby up to a point. But why should I solve a puzzle that has no picture and ultra-funny pieces to boot? Nope!

Have fun searching for dots

At least not monochrome, but full of dots. Yes, ok, the artist Karan Singh is good and I like his contemporary designs. But that doesn't mean I'm going to spread out a thousand puzzle pieces full of dots on my living room floor.

Diagnosis: eye cancer

With all these white faces and this spongy green in the lawn, my eyes hurt just looking at this picture. No one does this to themselves voluntarily. Unless the person is up for an appointment at the ophthalmologist or lives out a masochistic puzzle fetish. Please, explain it to me.

Micky-Mayhem

Soon to be 100 years old: Mickey Mouse. The anthropomorphic mouse from Disney. With a portrait I could still turn a blind eye. Here, however, in hundredfold execution, one does not see the forest before louder trees any more. If something like that hangs on your wall, I'll gladly do without your invitation to dinner.
