After watching the Worlds, I now follow a bunch of you puzzlers who went there haha. I am obsessed with your long builds. I actually have ended up creating a list based off of some you have done! It seems like it was so much fun. I hope they can figure out how to get some air flow in the doom next year so it isn't so sweltering.

Yay! I’m so glad I’ve inspired you to create a puzzle list, and that you love my long builds. As you may have guessed by now, the big builds are my favourites 😄. Thank you so much for following and watching, I really appreciate that. 😍 Yes, it did get awfully hot in there 🥵

Great video!!! I still remember how you walked out of the hotel and hugged me on the ramp - I was so happy. And then we hugged at the train station when we were leaving - I was so sad. Miss you!!!

Your video was though simple, it was analytical and very clear! It has wonderful and fun information from start to finish....from greeting people to how you can find out how difficult a puzzle is to so many other things! I also loved the way you labeled/organized/categorized the WJPC links! I was wondering why everyone took BULKY puzzle box stands! That A&F puzzle stand is exactly the one I would've traveled with. I find it much more practical and useful than all the others so far! I wish there was a manufacturer out there that would put colorful puzzle piece images on it! It's a shame you didn't go to a typical Spanish restaurant, instead of eating Mexican food....after all, you ARE in Spain. Well, at least you had the typical "tortilla de patatas'"!

Thank you so much Betty! I tried to get all the information in, but make it personal as far as my experience goes 😄 I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Yes, that box holder was ideal for travelling with, definitely 😍 I did eat some Spanish food, which was lovely, but I’m hoping to get to that in my next video 😊

Thoroughly enjoyed your video about going to Worlds. I'm sure you all had a wonderful time despite the nerves. I agree with the country rule as explained by you. There are countries who have greater access to puzzles, the US in particular. The US and Spain also seem to have a large number of entrants, a good number of whom get through to successive rounds. I can't say I would wish to watch Worlds if the finals were mainly full of US and Spanish competitors! Fantastic that you all got to the finals of each section. 👍 I felt so sorry for DonnaLouise getting that Lupins puzzle. However when you go to a competition you have to be prepared for whatever appears. Look forward to the next video on Worlds.

We did, it was amazing 😍. I was so pleasantly surprised to get through to all of the final rounds, I just loved that I was able to puzzle all the way through 😃. I felt for Donnalouise too; of course we do all have to take what comes. It’s so subjective though, it was a hard puzzle, but some do like that kind of image to puzzle, just luck of the draw I guess 😊. Hope to get the next vid on Worlds out soon. Thank you for watching!

Haha, at the point in your video when you were contemplating who could have been the first person that approached your group I was already wondering if it was me - because you were just arriving at the Millenium dome. Btw: I like the photo that you found (took?) of me. Meeting people in 3d that one "knows" from 2d is really an interesting experience. Now I can confess that I struggled with choosing between: *) opening my arms and offering to give a hug *) exchanging kisses on the cheek (only 2, not 3 as many Spaniards seem to be used to) or *) just a formal handshake. I (we) went for the safe path, the handshake. :-) We may advance to kisses on the cheek next year and hugs the year after. 🙂

He he! I didn’t take that photo, I think it must have been one that the photographers at the event took 😊 I had the same thought process as you to be honest; in the UK we don’t do the kissing on the cheek thing, but I am definitely a hugger. Problem is you never know whether or not someone else is, and if they aren’t, things could quickly get awkward! 😆 I’d say the safe handshake is the way forward 😄 It was so great to meet you there, thank you for being the first to come say hi! 😍

I stand by I have no problem with the country rule, but I don't think anyone who doesn't finish should advance. BUT in the name of equality I don't think all the puzzles should be from the same brand. I understand financially having a sponsor makes things a lot easier for the organizers BUT it also puts people at an advantage if they have more money to buy more from that catalog where as if all the brands are a mystery you practice with whatever
@Vickymakesandbuilds

Yes, I think that’s the key in terms of finishing the puzzle - they would have to be either all the same puzzle, all new puzzles, or of equal difficulty - that’s why it wasn’t mandatory to finish the puzzle. The only round where that was the case was the semi finals where the round puzzles were of comparable difficulty. It’s certainly an interesting talking point 😊. Thank you for watching!

So, when you finally managed to eat some Spanish food, what was your favorite? ...besides tortilla de patatas that Janette said you had for breakfast each day.

@Vickymakesandbuilds Жыл бұрын
We did have a nice restaurant meal one night. There were cured meats as an appetiser, which I really liked. My main course was pork tenderloin I think, I’m not sure if it was, strictly speaking, traditional Spanish food, but it was so tender and delicious. I also had some tapas one day, which were all lovely. 😍
