The interesting thing is that in languages with more explicit gender marking than English, and with no less claim to feminism than the US, this does not seem to be an issue. For example, in French, to use your example, if there were 50 fema

To be pedantic, this is not really a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces are squares, I'm guessing the technique may be applicable to real jigsaw puzzles, too. I'd like to see this applied to puzzles with unique pieces like the ones here (

First I thought no way, but turns out minors can hold copyright ( https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/17320/can-a-minor-co... ). Their rights to sue may be limited in particular states, though, it seems.

Awesome idea, I'd totally pay for this! I think the best way to pitch this is to seasoned programmers, who want a "fun little break from coding" or a conversational item in their cube, etc. If you can also add in coloring for
