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.

33:41 - about the same time as last week.

Shoot, 9:54 this week.

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.

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.

Crikey that's a good time!

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

[Lihu]

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. . .

Impressive! Did you do it a few more times since I posted the leader-board?

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.
