My time for this puzzle was 9:07. It's a tougher one than the previous one, I think.

8:20 - definitely harder. Sorry I didn't send a pic - I was waiting for the week or whatever to be up to see if anyone beat my time.

Last week let me choose 72 pieces. This week I had a choice between 63 and 80, so I went with 80. The color patterns on this one were tougher.

18:49.  Man I suck a puzzles.

My only tips are the same as normal ones…

  • Zoom out so you can have more area to spread out the pieces.
  • Find the edges first and start to assemble them.
  • As you sort the other pieces, put them in groups by color: sky together, grass together, etc.

That's about all I've got.

I actually thought it was a bit easier than the last one, because there were a lot of different colors. I had a decent amount of the inner puzzle filed just by grouping the pieces by color as I moved them out of the center.

9:12. First time I've ever done a jigsaw puzzle without physical pieces, that's a fun waste of time!

Compared to the other people's times, I'm pretty bad. This time I worked through it during my break. I sorted all the similar looking parts together and the edges too to try to make it more efficient. Guess that just wasted time. . .Oh well, next time.

Holy crap, someone solved this in 3:37?!?

Okay, I just suck at solving jigsaw puzzles. I don't think I could even move my mouse fast enough to do that. . .

Yeah, I'm going to have to start saying that only your first time counts. :-)

I would support that - these definitely get easier once you know the pictures.

6:12 on the tees. I didn't realize the puzzle was square, so I wasted some time looking for the missing edge pieces, when I'd actually found all, but didn't put two large parts together. I also didn't use the edges to sort stuff until I realized this.

Impressive, that's getting down to the top 5 of the leader board type of speeds!

 

 

Actually, I think the timer doesn't start moving until you move a piece. Next puzzle, I'm going to stare at it a while. . .oh, "mentally" sort through the parts and organize them a bit before moving anything. The "meandering" the parts to the appropriate places one at a time took most of the time.

      USGA/R&A Changes to the Equipment Standards?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Right - because they basically did next to nothing. They paid lip-service to it, but that's it.  I've been listening to the Hack It Out podcast - I'm about half way through so far. It's quite fun listening to Lou Stagner basically eviscerate all the arguments in favor of rollback using the USGA's own reports. Basically new courses built since 2010 are typically larger footprint than courses in the 1980s, but most of that is other changes - specifically that many new courses are built in housing estates and those need more room, so average size is up, but it has nothing to do with how far the golf ball goes. Fairway, green and tee space is virtually the same and that's where most of the "environmentally responsible" points come in. PGA Tour courses median length in 2023 was less than 7200 yards, so it's not like the PGA Tour is playing ridiculously long golf courses. He also regularly posts on Twitter the spread of lengths of second shots on par 4s and par 5s and they do hit plenty of long shots. Also made the point that distance is basically pegged by how wide you hit it and, per Sasho's data, that is basically all to do with how far you hit it, so if you limit balls by 5%, most tour players have that 5% in the tank, which they can use to get back to where they are today without any additional accuracy issues. Haven't got to integrity yet, but Lou sounds excited to get to that and I think he's quite strongly anti-rollback.

      Maybe I'm officially an old fart. I don't like the shotgun format. I also kind of feel like the announcers are "trying too hard" if that makes sense. In terms of trying too hard, I feel the same way about the teams thing. That really feels forced to me.  Don't get me started on the flash mob.

      Same, ^^^. Just can't get excited to see the same guys, for the most part, play every tournament.  And not seeing Patrick Reed play golf, is a plus.

      I was really REALLY against the rollback. BUT, then I saw that 30% of the balls being sold today already comply with the rollback and I was like "Eh, maybe it ain't such a big deal"?
