    I don’t know, I tried some Euro Jigsaw Jam online events and found really embarassing to be one of the slowest ones :-( on Saturday I go to my very first in person competition and I even convinced some family members to come with me as a team… I am really nervous about them and about the competition :-(

      Try to go and just have fun. Think of it this way, if you took everyone in the world and raced a jigsaw puzzle against them, you would be faster than 90% of the World's population. Maybe even more like 99%! That's how I try to look at it. I do the same though and put pressure on myself to perform but in the end, I love doing pairs and teams - it's so much fun! Even if you come in last, try to have fun and go in the attitude that you are still faster than most puzzlers. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself and let me know how you get on.

    Interesting technique I have not done exactly like this before but am currently doing a 1500 piece puzzle wth a forrest landscape that is basically all different greens. I decided to approach it by not sorting that much and started with the top left corner of the puzzle and am slowly working my way out from that ☺

    I like tighter fit more, i dont mind taking time to dissembling, as i usually listen something while doing it. Second hand puzzles are always a little risk.

    I just finished Colin Thompson's Bizarre Bookshop #2, 1000 pc. It was my first by this artist, and I loved it. I am not a speed puzzle at all, and I think it took me about 7 1/2 hrs total, doing a very rough sort (edges, significant colour blocks and little pink creatures). If I had a bone to pick, it would be that the image on the box is not quite big enough and the poster inside is SMALLER! What is the point of a poster that is smaller than the box image?? In the end, perhaps it was more fun to discover the tiny elements as I did the puzzle rather than finding them in the poster or box image, but my older eyes sure struggles at times. I will definitely do another by this artist if I can find one - and I thought 1000 pc was about right.

    • @fortheloveofpuzzles
      @fortheloveofpuzzles 2 дні тому

      I agree, if the poster is smaller than than box, the only point of it is to have two copies for puzzling with multiple people but...wish it was at least the same size or bigger. He does put so much detail into his artwork which is just so fun to discover!

    It's just so cool to see that I'm not the only one! I've been doing Build-as-you-sort forever (mostly because flipping and sorting is not fun). I do it more in the "hunt for certain types of pieces in the box" kind of way than the "pull out every piece" kind of way, but this was the most similar I've seen a puzzle done on UA-cam to my style. I've participated in my first local contest in May and got a 1:03:32 with my technique (the adrenaline certainly helped) which still is my personal record. I have tried more conservative methods but I tend to get overwhelmed when there are too many pieces spread out around and get huge space management issues. It helps me to only have pieces in the working area that I know where they go. On the other hand shuffling through the box loses time as well as switching context between different areas often (which will happen as you always miss pieces and don't 100% complete sections). So I'm still on the fence if I want to keep my technique as it is or change it for faster times..

    • @fortheloveofpuzzles
      @fortheloveofpuzzles 2 дні тому

      Congrats on the personal best time - what was the puzzle that you did? I love the pick-and-place and build-as-you-sort method the best. I definitely suggest trying different techniques and practicing them. I usually spread all the pieces nice and flat when I do a full flip but maybe that is a waste and I shouldn't worry if the pieces are stacked on top of one another. It also overwhelms me to have so many pieces spread out all over the table.

    Well done for putting yourselves through the torture of that castle jigsaw. 👍 Colin Thompson jigsaws are ones that you will either enjoy or get frustrated with. I see from my list that I have done five of his puzzles. Ludicrous Library, Bizarre Bookshop 1 & 2, Flying Home and Tomorrow's World. Of those the ones I liked best were the last two. The Bizarre Bookshop ones drove my late husband and I nuts doing them! I don't mind doing busy puzzles but I certainly wouldn't speed run them. Today I finished doing Ravensburger's 1000 jigsaw called Squishmallows Squish Squad. Lovely puzzle but it has a repeat pattern so it got tricky working out what went where. Look forward to your next video.

      Good suggestion but the Google form has already been created and a lot of work and time goes into planning and preparing these things. All of our videos are already recorded and done in which we explain the rules. We don't have time to redo them all. If I do another Battle with a time limit rule, I'll consider adding in a total time as well. But we also only have so much room on the post to write out all the information. This all takes a lot of time and planning and we don't want to keep having the same rules for every Battle. I hope you understand.

    So I now what you meant when you said there was a twist to BOTYP 4. Personally I feel this has spoiled the fun to some degree. Those of us who aren't fast will be counting pieces after the 90 minutes. 🧩 Hopefully Michelle is correct and the puzzle will be available worldwide. 🗺 Anyway it will be an interesting birthday weekend for me as I celebrate it on the 30th. I shall be interested to see what the jigsaw turns out to be.

      You don't have to do the puzzle if you don't want to. You can always just do it for fun and not time yourself. I want to change things up every so often so it doesn't become repetitive. This Battle was also in support of the Worlds Competition and everything that Alfonso has done and continues to do to support many of our channels. There may be many people who need to count pieces, or none at all - we will have to wait and see.

    I would really miss the squirrels in New Zealand. They are one of my favourite animals, even though they are freaking maniacs.😂

      Total maniacs! When I was just back in Canada this past May, I loved seeing them!

    Great job on the speed puzzle. Fur is always a struggle for me too.

      It's just so funny how a person can be quite good on most of the image and then bam...other parts are just so tricky! I was pleased overall with my time.

    Last comment - time to return to life. Blue Kazoo pieces are "slicker" than Art & Fable, but still as "matte". I researched "paper" until I turned blue in the face. Basically, printers offer a wide array of papers - coated and uncoated, glossy, matte, linen, laid, silky, velvet, you name it. Art & Fable puzzles are manufactured by Trefl as far as I know. I cannot get into the Blue Kazoo website today. Started watching "Novel Avenue" videos. Thanks for them. Time to return to "fun".

      Hehehe Blue in the face hehehe So many types of paper! I bet you if I put up a poll, one commonality would be that people prefer matte over glossy.
