This thing has been on the table more than three weeks now. I hated it from the moment I watched the pieces cascade from the sack to the table top but we are a persistent couple. Up to a point. Is this the point? Do we continue the agonizing frustration, or do we show ourselves to be quitters?
Consider this. Working a jigsaw puzzle should be fun. This one stopped being fun almost before it started (see above). Excuse the photography* if you can and weigh in on this. To do or not to do, that is the question. (We have averaged about six pieces a day for the last ten days, at which rate you-know-where may be frozen before we finish.
*I turned the camera on. It's broken. The only thing I could see on the screen was broken colored lines, I could only point and trigger, literally, and you see how that turned out.

Quit. If you don't, you've lost sight of the primary goal of puzzling: to have fun.
Yeah, if it's not fun, then why? (The photo came out fine...)
We had a puzzle like that once. We cursed the entire way through it and it ceased to be fun. We finished it, but Joe STILL curses that puzzle. I think I'd wrap it up and open something that is fun to work on.
I had to biggify the pic to get full effect. I can see the lack of joy just in looking at the pieces.
Loyal Readers, The preponderance of opinion precludes completion. Thank you.
