I think this file could be improved a bit by adding an example, ideally with some visual(s)

What kind of visuals did you have in mind and how could I include them?

That I'm not sure of, but we've had @habere-et-dispertire create some nice images.

# Instructions

Given partial information about a jigsaw puzzle, complete the remaining details.

If the information is insufficient to complete the details, or if it contains contradictions, the user should be notified.

The full information about the jigsaw puzzle contains the following parts:

- `pieces`: Total number of pieces
- `border`: Number of border pieces
- `inside`: Number of inside (non-border) pieces
- `rows`: Number of rows
- `columns`: Number of columns
- `aspectRatio`: Aspect ratio of columns to rows
- `format`: Puzzle format, which can be `portrait`, `square`, or `landscape`

For this exercise, you may assume square pieces, so that the format can be derived from the aspect ratio:

- If the aspect ratio is less than 1, it's `portrait`
- If it is equal to 1, it's `square`
- If it is greater than 1, it's `landscape`

# Introduction

Your best friend has started collecting jigsaw puzzles and wants to build a detailed catalog of their collection — recording information such as the total number of pieces, the number of rows and columns, the number of border and inside pieces, aspect ratio, and puzzle format.
Even with your powers combined, it takes multiple hours to solve a single jigsaw puzzle with one thousand pieces — and then you still need to count the rows and columns and calculate the remaining numbers manually.
The even larger puzzles with multiple thousand pieces look quite daunting now.
"There has to be a better way!" you exclaim and sit down in front of your computer to solve the problem.
