Can Yuo Tell Who It is, Yet?

By John Freeman on February 28, 2009

This is a fun little app: jigsawplanet lets you upload an image — in this case, a spread from a 1970s Doctor Who strip from Countdown — and turn it into a virtual jigsaw. You’re then timed as you try to complete it. Who needs Brain Trainer? The system is java-powered and very easy to use, although pieces can get hidden under the main construct as you get closer to completion… but at least they won’t get lost!
