The pictures on a puzzle are just a filtering mechanism for the pieces. Getting the puzzle together requires you to look past the picture and focus on the shape of each piece. Once you see the structure, the picture helps narrow down which pieces go where, but it's not needed to find which piece goes where.
There's a deeper lesson there. Surfaces features, appearances, are easy to see. Those obvious features may be hiding something more important. Looking past the surface and trying to see how things fit together could lead to important connections or insights.
