Sorting into 4 images probably made the biggest difference - more than the comfort of home. Second time on the puzzle helped because you "knew" the puzzle and could sort more accurately than if you didn't already know the images. AND - that's big, wonderful news about Spain and Jeanette. I am GREATLY looking forward to that. Thanks for this very special video and congratulations!

Thank you!! I do think I should have sorted by image to begin with and with a good subsorting per section - would have helped with the build time. Lesson learned for next time. It was so much fun though and I can't wait to be in Spain with Janette. 💜🧩

I loved your presentation of your medal - sort of surprising although I was very sure that you would be top 3. I would not be surprised if you were able to finish in around 3 hours also with your build-as-you-sort technique - at home and knowing the puzzle already. But separating into 4 piles should still be the faster method for this puzzle (since you can do that sorting almost without consulting the picture). Finally, I love to hear that you will travel to Spain and I am especially fond of your team with Janette! As I have already mentioned in one of my videos the chances of me going to Spain are very low - but they are not zero. :-)

Wow! Donnalouise, you did absolutely awesome - that was fast! I kept gasping when you were talking about your tremors and your Achenbach syndrome. They sound really uncomfortable and you just got on with it. You’re an inspiration - and I know you will be one in Spain too!! That is so exciting that you and Janette will be there and pairing up! I am particularly excited too about the plans to build a team…😃 Amazing video! Oh, and to add my two penny worth on the method, I do think that the fastest technique does depend a lot on the type of puzzle. Even though you knew the puzzle and were at home, I think the sorting method for it would have been faster, maybe by about 20 minutes or so. However I think that collage style puzzles really lend themselves better to a sorting method. I did the Floral reflections 500 piece Ravensburger and that was essentially a collage gradient. My sort first technique gave me one of my best times on that one! That’s it! Sorry my comment is so long 😂 I loved your video xx

Congrats, what an amazing time and placement! Well done, you might have had nerves but that's fast. And congrats to your friends too, all looked like they had a blast, and that's what matters most. Personally I would puzzle as I go, and if I've done it once it goes very much faster. Last puzzle I re-did was asterix and Obelix 1000 pcs wit a lot of smaller pictures in it, and I pretty much halfed my time. Granted it's a much easier puzzle and I didn't speed it. But try another jigsaw and see what you save from just re-doing it. Use same technic. Will be fun to see.

Next year is in Dunedin, New Zealand - I think there is a place named Dunedin in Florida...?? But I'd say reach out to the USA group first and they will be able to give you more information.

Wao, congrats on your second place, even with all your health difficulties. Hope you're feeling better. I'm so happy for you on your trip to Spain! I'm sure you and Jeanette will have the best of time. In regards to the sorting, from what I've seen, super speed puzzlers just flip all the pieces while semi sorting in the process but never do a full sort. Obviously it all depends on the image. This one probably benefits from full sorting because it's basically 4 250 piece puzzles.

@fortheloveofpuzzles Жыл бұрын
Thank you! I can't wait for Spain and to be with Janette - it is going to be so much fun!! I know if I need to try the spread and flip technique again but I just can't stand having the pieces all over the table. My eyes just can't focus well. But maybe if I flipped, sorted and built some sections all at the same time, perhaps that would be better. I do think fully sorting and subsorting this puzzle would have been faster to start with. I better get practicing for Spain! heheheh 💜🧩

Congrats on your excellent performance in the competition. I think you'll be the one to beat in 2024 😃. In terms of technique, the only thing I would recommend is flipping the pieces face up as you sort. It will take a little longer to sort but it will save you time in the end. Looking forward to seeing you in the world's in Spain. Do teammates have to be from the same country? I thought it was the case but maybe not.

I should have done a better sort and have the pieces face-up - definitely something to work on. As for the World Jigsaw Puzzle Federation Championships... If a pair each come from a different country, you must select which country to play under - so Janette and I decided NZ. She wants to be a Kiwi for a day hehehe. As for our team, if two or more people are from the same country, you must play under that country. If everyone is from a different country, then you can select which country. We might try to stick with NZ just because we will have shirts done for pairs so we can reuse them. 💜🧩

Wow, a trip to Spain, that will be a long flight, I hope you will love it. I don't agree with you that doing a puzzle at a competition is harder than at home. I found it easier, first you get a bigger table than the table I use at home, then you have the incentive that you want to do it better than the other people. At the NSW competition I shared a table with a man and even though I was able to concentrate on the jigsaw and ignore everything around me, I did glance over to the other side of the table a few times and couldn't really decide whether I was doing better than the man. In the end I finished 1 minute before him and he made the comment that seeing the energy I was putting in the jigsaw helped him to keep doing it as fast as he could.

I have so many puzzles glued and framed around my house. The big map one behind me is my pride and joy - I love it! 5000 pieces Ravensburger Antique World Map. Some I keep, but most I donate/sell/trade as I would run out of room. I keep a small stock. 💜🧩

Congrats!! Thats a great time. I can imagine that you was pumped up, but with experience you will be calmer and quicker. Its funny how you're not a fan of pictures while I prefer them. I agree the photo should be as big as possible. The Kodak one ' im doing is pathetic, 51000 pieces and the picture is 10 inches x 40 inches you need a microscope ha ha.

Thank you! Oh no, that's so small to see any detail in the image. I'm working on the 42000 Educa and they really should have given bigger individual posters for each section. My favourite type of image is a busy illustration - love them!! 💜🧩

I think 10-15 minute improvement if you fully sort first

I definitely was so nervous and excited! It was so much fun. I'll be starting to practice for Worlds soon. Someone suggested I practice in public space just to get use to it. 💜🧩

Fantastic, second place. 👍👍Very well done for your first time at a competition. Looks like the table was big enough, with plenty of room. Not a fan of photo puzzles so I would have groaned at seeing that! As Marg has said, sorting the four images did make a difference the second time you did the jigsaw. Familiarity would also have assisted with the faster time. Whoo, going to Spain with Jeanette is great news. I am sure that you will both enjoy that experience whatever place you achieve. You have at least six months in which to practise! 🧩🧩

I would definitely approach it differently next time and sort the four images with some good subsorting. It was so much fun and I'm already so excited for Spain! I can't wait to puzzle with Janette. 💜🧩
