You can really see the progress now. It's also neat that you added LogicMasterSteve and SoldierTwoFace to the log book. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you 😊
@michellepiazza7698 Hi again and thanks, I wasn't sure about the CZcams thing at first, but it makes it a lot more fun with more people involved and coming along for the ride, john
I truly look forward to the beginning of each month just for your videos. Congratulations again on the sky , it looks amazing.
@erickennel9428 Hi again and thanks, yes the sky being (almost) done is a relief, and having that big of an area covered really looks nice.
"I know if I was a real youtuber, I'd put some music or somethin'' in there." You crack me up, John! You ARE a real youtuber!!! Your videos are entertaining, educational, inspirational, and subtly humorous... no music necessary. You (and your fellow puzzlers) have an amazing, unique talent. I hope you will continue to create content after this puzzle is done. (too soon to talk about that?😊)
@tinag4262 Hi again and thanks for all the kind words. We will probably take a break after this one is done, but Mom has already wondered what puzzle we should do next, so we'll see, john
I agree. I am afraid already for you to finish. I am so looking forward to your monthly updates.
Hey that camera angle is really good :)
The puzzle is coming along well
@Laserstormelpies Hi and thanks for watching, I liked that angle too, john
Just discovered the channel and wow, I admire your patience and dedication!
I had to check out the maths haha. So the mathematical formula that is linked in the description proves that to figure out how much harder a 2000 or 3000 etc... pieces puzzle is compared to a 1000 pieces puzzle, you should take the number of thousands of pieces and square it (multiply it by itself). So a 2000 pieces puzzle is 4 times harder than a 1000 pieces puzzle And a 3000 pieces is 9 times harder.
Therefore, with its 42000 pieces, this puzzle would be about 42*42 = 1764 times harder than a 1000 pieces puzzle !!!!!! How amazing is that ?!
@luguinch.mp4 Hi and thanks for watching, Thanks, that explanation was easier to understand than the website was. I think that would be accurate for a puzzle of one color, but being able to sort out similar colors and going by shape should make it a little easier (I hope). john
The walk through suggestion was great. We can definitely see the subtle progress. Great job!
@AltogetherPuzzling Hi, and thanks for watching, john
Wow, you have come so far already! I remember thinking only a couple of months back, that it seemed halfway done. Now it looks more like 2/3 or 3/4 done. And those mountains by no means look easy.
I just compared the time you worked on the puzzle to me doing my 9120 piece Magical Dragonforest Puzzle. I completed it in just under 78 hours. You are already almost at 2650 hours. It just blows my mind how much puzzling you have done. What a marathon! I hope you enjoy it till the end. You have overcome so many difficult things already (I am thinking of the repeated cut in the sky...). You must have never ending patience and endurance. I am happy to hear that your friends and family are coming in from time to time to take part. It is just such a special puzzle, the way you do it all in one go.
@nilsp9426 Hi and thanks, 78 hours is a good time for a 9120 piece puzzle. Yes, the sky on this one did take some patience. We are still having fun with it yet and and are starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel, john
Thanks, John for the honorable mention. But it's you and your friends and family that did the majority of the work. It really starting to come together now.
@soldiertwoface3690 Thanks, and you're welcome. It's nice that there is getting to be less empty space, john
Bravo John i ekipa...❤
@dariodomitrovic1500 Hi and thanks for watching, john
Hey again! Great progress. I could see a difference every month, but the 3 videos really made it more noticeable. We're all rooting for you!!
@janspearman9310 Hi again and thanks, we are getting there!!!
It's amazing how much you guys have done. I think you see the puzzle so much that you don't realize how filled out they are getting. The mountains are looking gorgeous! 😊
@LadyMystie Hi again and thanks, we do have a lot of the puzzle memorized, I think we look at what we have to do instead of what is done. Having a lot of the mountains done fills in more of the top of the puzzle and does make it look more complete, john
Wow! Very amazing!!
@queendresstv Hi and thanks, and thanks for watching
I had to laugh when I saw my CZcams name in your book - although you already prepared me. What an honour!
As a mathematician I also want to delve into the formulae. Sorry for that. 🙂 The article mentions that applying the factor 42 for a 42.000 piece puzzle is (obviously) wrong when comparing with a 1000 piece puzzle and they give an argument why 42^2 = 42*42 = 1764 could be a good factor. As the user fellowpuzzler noted below this factor seems too high and only applicable for single color puzzles.
I hereby propose the factor 42^1.5 = 42 * squareroot(42) = 272 without any reasoning at all - except that Karen Puzzles needed 67.3 hours for her 9000 piece Minion puzzle and she can easily do a 1000 piece puzzle in a whopping 2.5 hours. My invented formula 9^1.5 = 9 * squareroot(9) = 27 fits good to that data - she needed 27 times longer (comparing 9K vs. 1K). 🙂
If one assumes that my factor 272 is a good factor for comparing a 42.000 to a 1.000 puzzle (I have no idea if it does 🙂) then with your 2650 hours you are nearing the 10hour equivalent for a 1000 piece puzzle - which is feasible for such a difficult puzzle. Similar to a dogs life year being equivalent to 7 human life years, 272 hours spent on a 42.000 puzzle would be equivalent to 1 hour spent on a 1.000 puzzle.
While 1764 seems to be too high a factor my number 272 just feels a little too low. But it was fun to think about it. Kudos to everybody that read that far on my mathematical ramblings. Haha!
@LogicMasterSteve Hi LogicMasterSteve, Thanks for taking the time to figure all that out. Your calculations make more sense than the websites. I can understand why we are slower than your estimate for us doing a 42,000 piece puzzle, Karen focuses when she is working on a puzzle and we usually have more than one person in the room and are more distracted. Using Karen as a reference point is about as scientific as anyone can get when doing calculations for anything puzzle related.😀 john
Super progress. We look forward to your monthly tour. The walk is a great idea. Thanks a lot. We live in the County of Kent in the UK 😊
@allandavies9862 Hi and thanks for watching. You are from across the pond, greetings from Pennsylvania, john
I've been watching you from the start also and look forward to seeing your progress each month. I think you're on the downhill stretch now and its going to get easier every day. Keep up the great work! From a fan "Around the World" in New Zealand 😀
@ambergreaves687 Hi and thanks for watching, We think too that it will start getting faster, but some days it doesn't seem like it. You ARE on the other side of the world and the other side of the equator, greetings from Pennsylvania, john
Hey what did they showyou that was wrong? This is such a massive undertaking. Boy you’re REALLY doing a 42000 piece puzzle. Started watching last month and I have watched every single episode. Fascinating just fascinating..
isn't it though... yes we have watched from the beginning... he has a book with all our guesses as to when we think he will be finished.... what fun!!! good clean fun!!!
@ruthtumolo9598 Hi, thanks for watching. In last months video I showed the Church of our Lady before Tyn and I had a piece in a row by itself and a hole in the roof, and LogicMasterSteve said to take that piece out and put it in the hole in the roof and then move the roof down one row and it would fit. You can see it at 14:46(this time link will take you to this months video, not last months, I don't know how to change it) in last month's video. And soldiertwoface3690 found something similar with the Mala Strana tower. I think that I had to move it down a row or two, john
@@puzzlemethis.
I’ll watch the video again then. This undertaking
The challenges are incredible. I myself usually stick to puzzles that are not too large. I’m currently building a 9000 pc . One bag at a time though. Ravensburger magical dragon. It’s getting there… thanks for your reply. Keep it up. It’s so entertaining.
You have made a lot of progress. I have enjoyed watching you since the beginning.
@maryjaneellinger1783 Hi and thanks so much for watching, john
Hi, nice progress! To me it has always been easy to see from month to month, but the slow walk is a nice idea to emphasize it. The high up camera angle is good too. Keep up the good work John and family! See you next month!
@BethJedrzejewski-ue9gs Hi again and thanks, sometimes I'm not sure if I'll have much to show, but at the end of the month when I start on the video there is more things to mention than I thought there would be. I like that camera angle too, I'll probably keep doing that, john
What’s with the gas can and fire extinguisher? Were you getting so frustrated that you planned to light it on fire??😂😂
@CMN939 Hi, hey that is a wild idea, if I could get the puzzle outside when it's done and set it on fire, like Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar on fire on stage at the end of the show. That might be a youtube puzzling first, but with my luck, Judy or Vicky has probably already done it. john
Looking great John!!! Betting you'll be done by the end of summer.
@crazypuzzlechick Hi CPC, I just left a comment on your newest video, I thought you were taking a break so I need to catch up. You're doing a great job on the 60,000 piece puzzle, john
Wow you can see the progress alot now. Filling in nicely.
@jeancarroccino8574 Hi again and thanks, it does look a little better every month, john
I am doing a 3000 pc also my first. Lol Mediterranean Romance from Anatolian. It's hard and challenging for sure. 😊
Nice comparison shots. And those mountains count a lot.
@jlu3ai Hi again, thanks, yes the mountains do fill in below the sky and make it look more filled in, john
WOW!!!! you have a lot done since last month..... looks good. Love the camera angle.....you will be finished way before my guess....I love your commentary.. the math is over my head too!!! Have you ever said what you will do once finished..... I would lay new cardboard on top of it and just start another puzzle ... It would be heartbreaking to take it apart....this has been a very fun interesting journey....looking forward to future up dates.... will you do a live feed when you put in the last piece.... how exciting that will be...
@kathylynn1375 Hi again and thanks, we will leave it on the table for a while and then I'll take it apart in sections that fit in the box, that way I can put it back together again if I want to or take it all apart so it can be done again. I probably won't do a live feed but will definitely film the last pieces going in, john
When I started the video, Goldie said, "Hi John!" And at the end she said, "Bye John!"
@shawnastoltzfoos8727 HA!!! She should have said "Bye John and go put your puzzle together!" Looking forward to you and Jake coming over next time, john
Great camera angle to see the progress 👍 this is great work 👋 hope you are all still enjoying it
@thegoodchicken1078 Hi again, and thanks. Yes we are still enjoying the together time and working on the puzzle, john
Wow so so cool! I’m working on Rocky Mountains Colorado 1000 piece puzzle and I might be able to finish it under 3 days!
@terryleung622 Hi and thanks, After working on mountains all month, If your puzzle has a lot of mountains on it , it is probably pretty hard, john
wow 2650 hours, just amazing, looking very good!!!!
@tony--james Hi again and thanks so much, john
It is really coming to life know!
@palatina6626 Hi and thanks, it feels like we re lowly getting there. john
Im guessing this will never be dis-assembled once completed haha 🤙🏻🤙🏻
@LeeroyHad Hi, we will leave it together for a while and then I'll take it apart in sections and put it in the box, that way I can easily put it back together or take it all apart to be assembled again. john
I did the 24000 piece Education Borras life puzzle, Sectioned it off into 14 smaller sections, flipped them over and used painters tape and hung it on my 14 foot wall
@Furbgone WOW!!! That is awesome, that is a really neat puzzle. I wish I had a wall long enough for this one. I will probably take it apart in sections and keep it in the box, john
Awesome. ❤
I did not laugh actually, ok maybe a bit. But did not understand at all what mountain it is and googled 😂 Is that the Watzmann in the Alpes?
@tinkerbellarocks Hi tinkerbellarocks, I think you are right, it says in the book that came with the puzzle that it is "Alp Watzvmann, Germany". My pronunciation, I'm sure, was way off, john
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🧩☺️
@Puzzlerfromsweden Hi and thanks for watching, john
Looking like you have made lots of progress this month - great job 👏🏼
Tiny editing correction. Mount Kilimanjaro is actually located in Tanzania, near the Kenyan border, but not actually IN Kenya.
@susanrobeno6739 Hi again and thanks, Yes, you are right, I'll have to correct it in the next video. The book that comes with the puzzle says it is in Kenya. Thanks for catching that, john
When you get done with this puzzle what are you planning on framing the puzzle or put it back into it box after you are finished with it
@AmberRaymond Hi again, framing it would really be neat, but I don't have a wall long enough for it. I'll leave it together on the table for a while and then take it apart in sections that will fit in the box and keep it in there. I can then put it back together if I ever want to or take it all apart if someone wants to do it, john
Ok. . . . Leap day 2028 . . . Looks like you are right on schedule !
@johnmarshall9065 Hi again, I hope it doesn't take that long, but we'll see, john
I had a look at the puzzle website and I don't agree with their math at all. They failed to take into account the effect of sorting the pieces into small piles. A larger puzzle is more difficult because each piece has a smaller portion of the image and you have more pieces to deal with when doing a section with the same colour or texture but it is not exponentially more difficult as their math would suggest. If they were correct then doing a 5000 piece puzzle would take 25 times longer than a 1000 piece puzzle. In reality, it takes me about 6 times longer and if you compare the time it would take me to do five 1000 piece puzzles then a 5000 piece puzzle is about 20% more difficult. No more.
@fellowpuzzler Hi and yes, they say in the Q and A at the end that the numbers would more apply to a solid color puzzle, and sorting by shape would also make it a little faster. One of the sites I looked at based the numbers on having to try 50% of the pieces each time to find the one that fits, and then doing the same for the next piece, and so on, but going by shape would speed that up. john
@fellowpuzzler You can do a 5.000 piece puzzle in the same time as six 1.000 piece puzzles? Wow! I need 2.7-3.0 times as long for a 2.000 piece puzzle compared to a 1.000 piece puzzle. And my only 5.000 piece puzzle I puzzled leasurely over some weeks - without timing myself. Nowhere near factor 6, though.
Thus I suggested to use the factor N^1.5, see my other post under this video (I used data from Karen Puzzles also). What do you think about my formula? It would give the factor 5^1.5=5*sqrt(5)=11 and not 6 for your 5.000 piece puzzle, though... Useful?
@@LogicMasterSteve Hi Steve. I have a simple explanation for my estimate of 6 times. When I do a 1000 piece puzzle, I just flip and go. No sorting whatsoever (I hate sorting). But, when I do a 5000 piece puzzle, I am much more disciplined and do a detailed sort and sub-sort by piece shape when required. I use foam boards and whatever advanced puzzling technique that may be appropriate for the situation. Because of that, my ppm (piece per minute) rate is about the same as when doing a 1000 piece puzzle. If I did all that for 1000 piece puzzles then I think my ratio would match pretty close to your formula.
Your formula makes a lot more sense to me than what the website has calculated. I think their premise was that you need to try every piece in every orientation until you find the right one then start over for next piece until the puzzle is finished. Nobody does puzzles like that.
next update soon?
@Chefcouchon Hi, I just got done filming and am editing it now, hopefully I'll have it posted tomorrow, john
Thank you so much much for the continuous updates. You’ve all made great progress..❤️🧩
@susannelson5441 Hi, you're welcome, and thanks so much for watching, john
