The discussion centers on assembling a large jigsaw puzzle using the greedy algorithm, a method where the solver looks for pairs of pieces to join first, gradually increasing the size of assembled sections while reducing the number of loose pieces. The conversation references Herb Simon's "Watchmaker's" paradigm, linking it to the problem-solving approach. Additionally, the Divide and Conquer algorithm is mentioned as a potential alternative strategy for puzzle assembly.
