Solving A 1000 Piece Puzzle In Under 2 Hours: Welcome To The World Of Competitive Jigsaw-Puzzling

What might take a hobby puzzle player hours - or even days - is done in a jiffy in the eight hands of this Dutch group. These four young women from near Amsterdam took to puzzle solving in no time. The ‘Puzzelpoezen’ - or ‘puzzle cats’, as they’ve named themselves - can now solve puzzles so quickly that they often take first place in championships.

The Puzzelpoezen finally did have their appearance at the World Championships now in 2023 (since they did not compete in 2021-Corona and 2022). Their outfit caught attention and they were *really* fast. In the Teams Final they completed two(!) 1000 piece puzzles in a total of 2h 5min 30sec - which is quite a lot faster than the time shown in the video (1h 30min for one 1000 piece puzzle). Congrats, Ladies!

[@sueyyness3642]

This is awesome. My grandmother and I do a few puzzles a week and I like the strategies these ladies use. Keep it up!

[@BrianAdams-dt1ks]

Puzzles like that, with every square inch having a part of an image makes it easier. Try one with lots of black or blank in the overall image...

[@Geminish15]

No thank you🙂

[@michaelmorgan9824]

Yeah Puzzle cats! Hope you win 2021 years in Spain!

[@jewellchunn2251]

I just finished my 1000 pc puzzle and it took 32 hrs. But I was working by myself and it was mostly a dark puzzle with lots of shadows. I had to use a flashlight to catch all the details.

[@SchizoMelody]

With four people that's actually six hours and 20 minutes.

[@analuisa1214]

Yeah!! Alone is another time. In competitions you are usually alone, and I'm sure they can not do this time with only 2 hands 😂 I take ~5 hours with a new puzzle that I've never done before, and can decrease time if I already know the specific tricks for that puzzle (which I definitely think they know too, to do it in this time!!). That's not impressive at all, it's a performance like magic shows.

[@isra9862]

I want to be one of them so bad. But I must be at least 18 to compete. I am 16 . TT

Not too long to wait, then... 😁

With 8 people this is supposed to be an accomplishment? That’s a lot of hands. It should be done in 2 hours if you have 8 people piecing then together.

[@pizzapartytime1826]

There’s 4 people…. 8 hands

You clearly don't do many jigsaw puzzles... it's not a simple calculation of "2 more hands = 1/2 the time to solve."
