Thanks Steve, that's getting closer. What's missing is texture. The original looks like a puzzle, and the alternates don't quite get there yet; when you look at a puzzle, you see shadings as you come close to the lines, which in a real puzzle are pressed cuts, so there is a more reflective (whiter) edge at the bottom and right sides and a more absorbent (darker) edge on the top and left sides of each individual piece. That, to me, is what is missing in the "new and improved' versions. I really do appreciate all the work that has gone into making all of these versions. A lot of improvements have been made in the lettering, the placement of letters, the "3-D-ness" of the globe. It's just lost its "puzzle-ness" along the way, and I'm sure it can be fine-tuned as time goes on.
