Good luck! Here's a tip that may help. In Teams, get everyone to paint their nails a different, distinct colour. You'll never have to look up to know where a given team-mate is, and can hand over pieces from the sections they're working on instantly. Being able to recognise everyone by their hands alone is an advantage when every second counts.

@KarenPuzzles Also, if you listen to music, create and learn your playlist so you know what songs denote the 5-minute, 10-minute mark etc. Saves looking at the timer.

You'll have many hours of time change to deal with, where competitors from within Europe won't have as much of a change. Make sure you're doing all of the tricks to avoid jet lag and make sure you get good sleep beforehand. Maybe consider adjusting your sleep schedule before you go if you feel like it will be a major hurdle for you.

NEW RULE! If you're going to World's and didn't watch all the way to the end, make sure you know about the updated cutting tool rule: “Only letter openers, keys or other blunt objects may be used to open the plastic that covers the puzzles. Nothing sharp like scissors or box cutters as that could be dangerous to handle during a speed competition.” Personally, as somebody who once stabbed myself in the hand with a letter opener trying to open a calculator's plastic packaging in middle school, I'm a little wary about if they're actually less dangerous. But that's what the organizers have decided, so it's another thing to add to your puzzle bag!

@OccasionalVlogger 8 ай бұрын

A calculator has more ridged packaging then the puzzle you should be fine opening it with one.

Ok, here's one for those who aren't that familiar with getting over jet lags. You can start adjusting to the local time in Spain way before the trip. Starting one week ahead should get you comfortable enough during the event. Change your clock, change the time you eat, sleep, and shower. Use lighting and curtains to trick your body. Melatonin is also pretty useful. Better yet, practice your puzzle guesses at the exact time of those qualifying rounds, Spain time of course. Good luck!!

Oh, that's an interesting idea. Also, we spaniards have very different times for... Well, everything. Lunch breaks for us are usually 2-3 PM, dinner is more like 9-10 PM. It's probably worth taking it into account and getting used to it, because the competition may happen straight through what other countries consider lunch time. You wouldn't want to be competing while very hungry

Hi Karen! I'm a new sub, I found you through a reel on ig about the 9000 piece astrology puzzle, but it wasn't the final one and I wanted to see that behemoth solved, so I came over to KZfaq and just.... Started binging your channel. All day. Within two days I ordered my very first Ravensburger 500 piece puzzle (after.... 15? 17? years of not solving a jigsaw puzzle and not even thinking about them 😅). I found myself looking at all of them, thinking which would be more challenging, the different textures, how hard it would be to sort and so on. I felt like a pro (that is, until I actually had to put it together and took me almost 4 hours)! Good luck in finals, and I hope you enjoy Spain, which is where I'm from. I'll be rooting for you

I agree that Kristen with her slow (looking) style was so impressive. One thing I noticed she did was combined two actions into one--flipping all pieces and organizing by color. Not to mention saving time by not pulling them all out of the box. Also I noticed you reverting back to your ingrained habit of building the border. Maybe trying to find other ways to combine different tasks might help improve your times.

I travel and play in a lot of card game tournaments and all those tips are spot on for what I do to prepare. Staying hydrated and energetic is key to doing anything all day. During the down times try to eat a real meal. Even if the food is cold and your sitting on the floor in the hall, real food is the best for keeping up. Also I know there is going to be many people that would like even just a few minutes of your time, please take as much time as you can alone and in a quiet place.

Good luck! I've been following you for years, and I have both your puzzles. The 3000 piece is on my dining room table, and I'm trying to do it in sections so I don't take up the entire space, but it has sat idle for several weeks. Sad to say, my mom is now in hospice, and I'm cleaning out her apartment. Thankfully, she's in a retirement community, so the apartment is just upstairs from the healthcare facility. I took the day off today, and I'm so glad I did. You get tired leaning over a puzzle, but I'm not just physically tired, but emotionally. And my mom is the last of my daughter's grandparents. So puzzling is not on my radar, but watching YOU is.

First of all, good luck in the competition. I am not a speed puzzler by any means. I was taught that using the box picture is cheating (but in the competition it isn't considered cheating, so I guess I just like more of a challenge). You mentioned clothing and having a team style. However, as a professional photographer, I have to be conscious of the color of my clothing because when the light bounces off me, brightly colored clothing could project a color cast onto my photography subject that I don't want. So when I go to any of my photo assignments, I make sure to wear a completely neutral grey shirt to avoid a color cast on my subject. At the puzzle competitions, as you've shown in past videos, sometimes the camera crews will have their own lights to illuminate the puzzles and puzzlers that are in their videos. It seems to me that you would want the same kind of neutral grey colored shirt to avoid another color cast and more quickly find the color differences in the pieces.

I've never noticed any kind of color cast from my clothing onto pieces, but I also don't tend to wear bright or neon colors. I think as long as the color is reasonably muted, we have a few more options than just gray 😅
