This is a random comment, but I love Ally's dresses! I see puzzle shirts a lot, but not fitted dresses, and she is looking FIRE in this video!! (Pun fully intended)

Awesome guys! Looks like everyone had a ton of fun!

[@ConcreteAngelx3]

Did Emma and Mari ever find their missing piece? If they didn’t maybe it was a manufacturing error..that happens!

[@ConcreteAngelx3]

If they didn’t find it I don’t know if that’s fair to give them a 10 second penalty!

[@mariblack4817]

​@@ConcreteAngelx3 Thanks for the support! NO, our missing piece was never found. Emma and I AND a team of volunteers searched for a very long time, including after all the surrounding tables finished, and we came up with nothing. It was a manufacturing error.

[@korenn9381]

@@ConcreteAngelx3There's no way to know the difference between a manufacturing error and a piece that (for instance) fell off a table, bounced somewhere and stuck to someone's shoe. So it has to be treated as a piece that was dropped.

[@mariblack4817]

@@korenn9381Yup! That's how it works :)

I was rooting for Karen and her partner.

Yeah karen n Tiffany 🎉🎉

The winners putting a piece in every 7 seconds on average is crazy 😮

Did everyone love this puzzle? Its really not my sort of thing, but I thought the artist was great!! And very talented :)

[@aksez2u]

I like it. I think the puzzlers probably liked it. Lots of distinctive little vignettes to work on which might also help with the cramped area they have. Edit: I see the difficulty with not being able to sort into major color groups. It will be interesting to see what they say.

Why do these announcers keep pronouncing it “RAHvensburger”? KZbinrs have collaborated with them and pronounced it RAYvensburger forever so I assumed they would pronounce it correctly 🤔

[@Mond-san]

One is the German pronunciation and one is the English one. Because it is a German company and the company is named after a city in Germany RAHvensburge is technically more correct but similar to a lot of German car brands there is an english pronunciation that has kinda established itself so both are acceptable.

[@FigTheReaper]

@@Mond-sanThank you for this reply! That makes a ton of sense. 🎉

[@jersey282]

I think even the second half of the name is still being pronounced “incorrectly” for its German origin but it’s a sound that is hard to say in English. The RAH is how it would be said in German… but the second half doesn’t sound like burger (how it’s said in English) in German lol. I think the company said they are fine with either pronunciation but I think people try and give it shot to be closer to the German pronunciation.

[@jeffwhittlefitness]

We pronounce it the way the Ravensburger people that we work with here in the U.S. pronounce it. I can totally understand that people have different ways to pronounce it!
