... a puzzle...?

That's... disgusting. I can't think of me playing merry on an EXAMINATION TABLE! Woah, very odd...

Ahem. It is quite possible that someone was moving items around and set that puzzle down on the table and left it. For art therapy we very rarely ask our folks to assemble puzzles on old folded up examination tables, especially if they use wheelcahirs and can't quite get their chair positioned under the table . . . . .
What I find odd is assuming that everything is exactly in the same place and condition as it was when the area was in use.

But its kind of hard to move a puzzle from one table to another without it completely falling apart. So I assume some reconstructive work had to be done on the puzzle when it was on the examination table otherwise it wouldn't be anywhere close to half complete.

Agreed. A puzzle on an examination table. Sometimes, the patient can be a complicated puzzle to the doctor. Pieces are missing, the picture is unlear. Despite the dictors best efforts, he cannot help the patient, and he gives up, folding the examination table. Years later, the patient remains, still broken, waiting for someone to make him whole again.

Keep in mind that other people besides Motts may have entered the building. Meaning, they may have moved around certain items (such as the puzzle) and we just assume that those items were left in those exact spots by the employees or patients of that particular era.
