Jigsaw puzzle approach of a resthome coworker.

My one (Mexican) resthome coworker always has to keep busy, and for the past few months residents have been doing jigsaw puzzles, but we've been forbidden to do it, since it's for the residents.

The other night I was by the room where they have the jigsaw puzzle, and she was sitting there looking at intently.

"I've found ten pieces," she was like. 

Then, she was like, "I'm not doing it, I look, and I find, and I count, but I'm not doing it, if we do it, we get in trouble."

Later that same night she told me that she got up to fifteen pieces, where she found out where they could fit.
