Puzzles

As those of you who know me probably already realize, I have become an avid putter-together-of-jigsaw-puzzles while at work. Our latest is a Ravensburger puzzle, which come from somewhere in Europe and are supposed to be very high quality. Anyway, they have descriptions in different languages on the box and I was intrigued that they had one in "US" English and one in "Great Britain" English. Here they both are. I think comparison between the two offers deep insights into the different cultural values. Observe:

GB: Doing a puzzle is a bit like doing yoga exercises...a very welcome relaxation from your daily routine. It is a labour of love, challenge, and light relief all in one.

USA: Doing puzzles is exciting, with invigorating emotional ups and downs. Piece for piece, as you search, find, and search again, your feeling of achievement grows. One person can work on a puzzle--or a whole group. Why don't you make your next party a puzzle one?

Wait, which is it? Is it relaxing, or exciting and invigorating? I guess it depends on where you're from. Also, I think they’re both a very funny way to describe doing puzzles. I don’t know that I would call the “emotional ups and downs” I’ve experienced “invigorationg.”
