You are right, the pieces are NOT from the globe, they seem ramdomly cut from
there... (sheeesh, I should think twice before posting stupid problems like
this!).
I will try to defend myself: the problem is that the text says "...each piece
of the puzzle in this animation flies [...] to land in its appropriate spot."
So, I thought that the whole globe was made by each individual piece!!!
Anyway, I will try to do it the way I thought it was made (I think Dan Ablan's
method is enough to do it) (been to busy recovering my harddrive :( )
