>From this came the idea to make a real ASCII puzzle for all those
ASCII art fans out there.  So, here is a small puzzle that only
contains 22 pieces.  Don't laugh, putting it back together is a lot
harder than you might think at first.  All pieces are different and
the goal is to assemble them to produce a rectangle of this size:

A few additional information:

     1)   if you want to give this a try, a text editor
          with a block copy is a must,

     2)   none of the pieces need to be rotated,

     3)   consecutively numbered pieces do not touch each
          other (ex: 7 does not touch either 6 or 8, not
          even diagonally), and

     4)   when combining certain pieces it's possible that a
          parenthesis or a vertical bar will replace an underscore.
          For example, when combining
               __   __ 
              |  |_|  |           _   _      _      
             _)      _)          | |_| |____| |__   
            (_   2  (_    and    (_              (_ 
              )_   _  )           _)     19       _)
                |_| |_|          (_______________(  

          like this:
               __   __ 
              |  |_|  |
             _)      _)
            (_   2  (_ 
              )_   _  )   _
              | |_| |_|__| |__   
              (_              (_ 
               _)     19       _)
              (_______________(  

          the underscore over the 1 had to be replaced by the
          vertical bar.


One last thing:  good luck!  You'll need it!
