We were surprised that the unassembled area didn't depend on the number of puzzle pieces. The intuition is this: if you have a small number of large pieces, the gaps between pieces are big, but this is multiplied by a small total number of pieces, and vice versa for small pieces.

So there you have it: you'll need a puzzle table just under twice as big as your assembled puzzle in order to not resort to the box lid or that random side table. Grab a puzzle and impress your relatives this holiday season with your predictive powers!
