It’s confusing when they’re assembled, but it wouldn’t be very difficult to assemble them. Carry this concept up to bigger puzzles, maybe you’ve got something.

Should be scaled up, for sure, to 500+ pieces.

Next level: two 500 piece puzzles, all mixed up in one box.
Next next level: three 500 piece puzzles, all mixed up in one box.
next: 3 1000 piece puzzles
level 10: three 1000 piece puzzles, printed on both sides, all mixed up in one box. One side is the actual pattern and the other side is a random pattern that isn’t the other three.
level 11: same as 10, but upon solving all three, there is a Forrest Fenn poem indicating a spot in the woods with a metal chest that contains within it… MORE IMPOSSIBLE PUZZLES!

The software programming equivalent is a polyglot and perhaps a quine. It’s an amusing past time for the creators, but it’s probably not art.
