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

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.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
