Here's a fun little thing we can do.

  1. Go to this URL: https://www.jigidi.com/solve.php?id=ZUTO8AE2.
  2. Solve the puzzle.
  3. Post your completion time back here in this topic.

Let's see how well everyone can do!

Update: We'll do a new puzzle every week or so, and the person with the fastest time can submit the next image to me. See post #15 below for more details.

I'm back. Took me 9:00 exactly. I kept thinking I needed to find a corner piece but I already had it, because the puzzle was smaller than I thought it was.

I don’t normally do jigsaw puzzles, but this one was kind of fun.

It really helps that the pieces are oriented properly. Once I got the sides it was pretty easy.

I think I took about 12 minutes, since I was interrupted a couple times I don’t know exactly.

It tells you the time it took at the end of the puzzle. Right on the screen there.

I posted that, but I also had to do some stuff in the middle of the puzzle. Not sure how long I actually worked on it.

BTW you can zoom, too. I think it's done via scrolling. On a Mac trackpad, it's two fingers up or down. If you zoom out you have more room to spread the pieces around.

7:21 is pretty good @Ty_Webb!

:) I've done a few of these on another site. I figured out that if you zoom out, you can move everything that's not a straight edge off to the relevant side and then go to work on the straight edge pieces. Then the rest is just a matter of doing it.

8:06. Probably wasted a minute before I realized that the puzzle was a lot smaller than the whole page.

10:07 I had the same problem that the puzzle was much smaller, but in the dimension of top to bottom.  Those I got down quick, but it felt like a couple minutes of searching for more side pieces before I realized I needed to bring the top and bottom together with their side pieces attached.  It was still fun though.

Agree that it was fun. I vote for a daily puzzle challenge ...

Won't be quite daily, but let's shoot for weekly.

Also, the member who has the fastest time can have the honor of submitting the next picture (to me) for the next puzzle. Right now @Ty_Webb leads at 7:21.

      USGA/R&A Changes to the Equipment Standards?

      By Marty2019 ·

      I haven't been here in several years, but I know that there are a lot of serious golfers here, so I thought this would be a good place to ask this question.  Forgive me if it's been asked before.   How will the rollback affect the average casual golfer who can on average hit his driver about 200 yards?   The reason I ask is because I am getting older, and I think if I was forced to give up distance because of this ball rollback, I might just quit playing.  And I think a lot of people would agree with me.

      USGA/R&A Changes to the Equipment Standards?

      By DeadMan ·

      Now that it's official: I'm fine with the rollback. It's not going to be that big of change for most of us. I'd still prefer no rollback, but this is fine. Heck, if it makes tee times easier to come by in 2030, great. Somehow, I'm mad at the PGA Tour for being against this rollback. They said they wanted something more "modest." It's hard to imagine anything more modest than what the USGA did here. I don't think this really solves much with distance concerns except with extreme cases. Maybe Augusta can close a few tee boxes or something. It won't affect most courses. I don't think it will impact the important of distance on tour at all. NGLA is not going to host a US Open anytime soon, either. What are the odds that golf sees a downturn in the next 7 years that makes this rollback look like a really bad idea? Recreational golf is probably in its golden age right now. You can really only go down. It's possible that, in 2029, you don't want to scare golfers away by losing more distance. PGA Tour statement, in case someone hasn't seen it: PGA Tour, PGA of America oppose golf ball rollback decision as USGA, R&A adopt rule to limit distance - CBSSports.com Not everyone is happy with the decision by the USGA and The R&A to roll back the golf ball

      USGA/R&A Changes to the Equipment Standards?

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      It seems like after the PGA and PGA Tour gave a thumbs down to the proposed reduced distance ball Model Local Rule, that would have solely affected professionals and elite amateurs, the USGA moved to plan B: limit everyone's distance. The USGA recognizes that there is no "distance problem" with 99% of the golfing population. Unfortunately, they decided to throw everyone under the bus in order to capture the professional and elite amateur golfer. The 4% reduction does not seem like much. Also, the implementation date of 2030 is a long way off (2028 for pros/elites). Of course, there is nothing to stop the USGA from tweaking the Rule in a couple years or moving up the date if they see further issues develop. Potential litigation from manufacturers, however, would likely stop this. More likely they could announce a further reduction for 2032. Once we all become accustomed to the idea of a rollback, further reductions may follow.  Afterall, the original Federal income tax rates started at 1-7% in 1913.

      By Ty_Webb ·

      I'm waiting for someone to come up with a way that 125mph clubhead speed results in a dead reaction, but 124 or less and 126 or higher results in a fast reaction. Something like a ball with a fluid layer that you only get to if you swing faster than 124mph, but it's thin, so once you reach 126mph you are connecting with the layer inside that and it gets faster again. It's probably obvious by now that I am not a golf ball design expert 🙂

      I think it’s mostly the “soft” and spinny  alls that were popular more so a few years ago. Callaway SuperSoft springs to mind, though @cedrictheo might disagree. 🤣
