Haha thanks! Let’s say this was not the easiest challenge 😃

Thank you so much Riikka for this comment and recommendation for all! I went to watch a short clip of this now too and it also shows how e.g. Kristin AMAZINGLY keeps turning the pieces as I mentioned here. For me it’s literally mesmerizing to watch. It’s truly a great opportunity to be able to watch this closely how the best puzzlers do it and then also learn from it!!! 😊

Yes! If someone doesn't want to watch the whole competition stream, you can see pretty well Kristin working like you describe when the competition has been going on for about 14 minutes. 😊

Hi! Can I ask you what words did you take as criticising? I especially said that she is amazingly skilled and these numbers (you also mention as ingredibly good) are great? I said that that this strategy is amazing and differs how other people do it. And that this is how we should try to do it. Most puzzlers don’t really go non-stop, more looking at the pieces and only trying once. Maybe my English wasn’t clear (or I will check if YT got automatic subtitles wrong)? 😊 My only point with the ”misconception” was that as we want to learn from the best we really need to know how are they doing it so we won’t try to replicate something we think they do instead of their real strategy. Also when I say someone doesn’t even blink means that they have incredible confidence. I now checked this with Google and couldn’t find any other meaning for this that could be taken a negative way. And I also said specifically said that this doesn’t mean that she is not as good as we thought just in case someone is not familiar with speed puzzling and thinks those numbers are slow.

After having the Panda puzzle in the Finnish Nationals and super small table in the Danish Nationals, I feel like I’m ready for anything in WJPC 2024 so bring it on 😃 And yes, that one is super old. I couldn’t even find a store that would sell it anymore.

😊

Yes! 😃

People found it the hardest of all classification puzzles and the image is more ”basic” Adobe Stock photograph. Puzzlers usually like more illustrations/art images. 😊

It really is!

Hello! ☺️

@@puzzlewithemilia hey there Emilia love your videos continue making them

I hope you will find the puzzle people from your country! 🇩🇪

I appreciate the feedback!

Haha yes 🤣

Still working on this 😅

Vili’s frens!

You chose it! 😁

Yesh! I was so jealous already last year of their Halloween calendar 😅 but there was no one to sell or deliver to Finland. This year we have a nee small business here that will sell it!

Yes. When I practice for WJPC (not filming) I use their table measurements. And also a lower table because it’s a ”bit” different for back pain (practice). Not sure what are the exact measurements in US Nationals? It’s quite impossible to create the same circumstances. As you said, space can affect. For me, it’s almost fine nowadays with any space. Just came back from Danish Nationals and we had the smallest table space ever, barely 60x70cm for a pair. But it was fine for me. I learned my lesson last year in WJPC to manage any space. Also ofc the competition itself affects, I’m usually faster when I compete against people in real-time. Also the light in my house is different than in most competition venues. Light is a major factor for me. Space not so much. Time of the day when doing a puzzle, noises around… so many things. Depends also on a person what factors affect and how much. E.g. if you have never done a puzzle on smaller space you may be screwed but if you have practiced that it may not really differ at all. My pair does puzzles on her bathroom FLOOR but she is still as fast on that compared to doing on a table.

I totally agree! 😁🥰 I really like this puzzle and I’m happy he bought it because I may have not chosen this on my own!

That’s very interesting to hear. I feel like those orange/red books and top shelf was definitely the hardest part.

🤩🔥🧩

No breaking stuff 😁

Thank you!!

😁😁😁

I was thinking raccoon!

Thanks! It’s amazing how fast we can recognize just from the pieces that what brand it is or if it’s one we haven’t done yet. 😄

Thank you! I really love this image too, and it was my first from this brand. ☺️

I feel you! Someone guessed in the Premiere that it’s maybe a Halloween or autum or even graveyard (the white window apparently looked like it) themed puzzle. I loved those guesses and it’s amazing how much actually not knowing the image can affect how we see (or not) what we are assembling. 😄

Oh that sounds interesting. What puzzle brand is it from?

@@puzzlewithemilia it was given to me as a gift... A Recipe For Murder by University Games....1000 piece . it was fun.... the mystery was easy to figure out...most reviews on line for this type of puzzle say the puzzle is fun but solving the mystery is tooo easy or so hard no one would get it..... so your way of just doing a puzzle without knowing the image would be just as fun...... I enjoy your channel....

Starring YOU!

Yes!

Absolutely 👍🏼

Definately yes! This was so much fun!

Wrong song mister 🤣

Stuck in my head now!

😂

Very cute puzzle yes!

Doggos!

I have asked around but haven’t received answers yet. I will get back to you! 😊

There is something coming up in Spain on 14th of September. Announcement will be in WJPF IG when they get it confirmed. Other than that I think most events are on pause before WJPC.

Lots of detailed busy puzzles! I think that’s the new trend for competitions. 😊 I’m so happy to have these!

Vautsi!

Haha I think Sara was literally pushing the F5 button whole night when they first released these puzzles. She is truly amazing! I’m sure you will love all those puzzles, especially the Air Balloon Valley 🥰
