How are the puzzle pieces arranged when I start a new puzzle?

Each piece starts out in a random location other than its correct location. If the difficulty level includes rotation, each piece gets a random orientation so about 1/4 of the pieces will start out correctly oriented. The process is repeated with random positions and orientations each time a puzzle is started, so if you play the same puzzle again it will start out in a different configuration. The 8×12 difficulty levels on the iPhone or iPod have the piece in the lower left corner covered by the up-arrow button, so that piece always starts out in its correct position. Not so on the HD/iPad version as there is no up-arrow button. I hate your stupid sound effects. Well, that’s not a question, but you can turn the sound effects off on the Settings page.

What is your question?
