You have the pieces to a puzzle.The finished puzzle will give you information needed to continue the game. You do the jigsaw and realize that the information isn't contained in the finished puzzle. Unless you explore more or review your preconception, you do not notice that the answer is on the back of the puzzle. Perhaps you need to slide it over a glass surface to see what's underneath.
Actually in my mind his example was the best of them all because it describes the change in 'complexity' more so than trying to describe an actual difference between puzzles.

Complexity is usual addition with creative puzzles but not always, though its rare.

best example is a mega puzzle that requires other puzzles to solve puzzles that connect other puzzles to the mega puzzle. Confusing? Well thats what happens you need an explanation. INCEPTION!
