    I love how you end the videos with "go put your puzzle together" because I do, in fact, have a 3000 piece puzzle half finished at my desk waiting for me to stop procrastinating 😅 it's inspiring

      @juliaalano1481 Hi and thanks, Paul Suchecki is a guy on CZcams who posts his bicycle riding adventures and at the end he always says "go ride your bike" and it makes me want to go ride my bike, so I kinda borrowed it from him and changed it a little. 3000 pieces is a big puzzle, I can understand needing a break sometimes.

    You have inspired me to take a couple of very large puzzles and mix up the bags into one (or three) parts. I have a new york city skyline puzzle at 32k that was a gift to me. It was in 4 large bags (quadrants), and I'm sorting those out by border, skyline, buildings, window frames. My World's largest at 60k, I started doing by the 1000 piece bags, but after three bags, I decided 1K at a time was too easy, so I'm dividing things up into border, all land, and all ocean for the other 57K. I blame you if I end up in the crazy house, hahaha. Seriously, I love watching your progress! Keep it up!

      @candyk9471 Hi and thanks, That sounds great!!!! By the time we get our puzzles done we may be sharing a room in the crazy house. I really like the NYC skyline puzzle and thought about getting that one but then decided to get the around the world 42k puzzle instead. Russell from @puzzlingin2worlds is on the 4th bag of the NYC skyline puzzle. I would love to see your progress. If you can put monthly or 3 month updates on CZcams that would be amazing to see. I would love to see people mix the bags and watch their progress and thought process on how to do it. My videos are as basic as it gets, just a cell phone for a camera and the free Microsoft windows 10 video editor. I started by just using the CZcams editor but the Microsoft editor lets you join two or more video clips together. With the CZcams editor I always had to do the video in one take and then could trim off the ends or delete parts out of the middle. if you have any questions about that let me know, I'm a beginner at this too, but I'll be glad to answer anything I can. Please keep me updated on your progress. john

    My prediction is one full year to the day, the last piece on the anniversary will be placed by "Mom". I think the sorting took the longest, which is done. How many other family members, friends and neighbours are coming in for tours? I started watching this, as I wanted to buy this upon my retirement and do it myself....now I'm rethinking it. that a biggggg puzzle. keep inspiring.

    • @puzzlemethis.
      @puzzlemethis.  Před rokem +1

      @wowzieee I'll put you in the book. The sorting did take a long time and the sky seems to be a slow process as well. We had a small family reunion on Memorial day and a lot of them looked at the puzzle but no real puzzling was done. Some friends also have wanted to see it. If you find yourself in Pennsylvania let me know. One fiend does come over and work on it sometimes and I am waiting to get more people on film to post them on a future video. I remembered you saying you were thinking of this when you retire and I said retirement is the best time to do it. The pieces fit loose (apparently all Educa's do) but the colors are bright and the image was my favorite of all the big puzzles. It is big, but there is the option of doing it in sections, or at least starting on one section and see how it goes, if that is easy then mix a couple sections or all of them together. I don't think you will regret getting it and working on it, if you do get stuck you can always have people help with it, that is a lot of fun too. Or find a local puzzle club, if you tell them you need help with a 42,000 piece puzzle they probably won't believe you at first, but I doubt if they'll turn down a chance to help work on it.

    I love that you’ve mixed up all the bags! At the 7:59 time stamp if you look in the lower right area, it looks like there are some pieces put together but of significantly different shades of blue. Perfect false fits?

    • @puzzlemethis.
      @puzzlemethis.  Před rokem +2

      @nancysturm9162 Hi, yes, according to Donnalouise and others, there is a repeating pattern and there should be 42 exact same pieces in the puzzle. with a few different around the boarder and on the edges of the sections. I'm not far along enough to tell for sure yet. but yes there are some in the wrong spots, but I know where they are so I left them in so I'll know where to find them when I need them.

    Does the sky really break like that? I mean, for example, at 19:20, from bottom (well, in video) eighth piece, fifth to the left from the vertical break between pads, that standard piece looks really white compared to the ones below or on left of that.

    • @puzzlemethis.
      @puzzlemethis.  Před rokem +1

      @artokilponen6989 Hi and thanks, there are some clouds that cause a sudden change of color, but it is more likely that I have a piece or two (or more) in the wrong place. Once I get a big section together I'll go through and switch them around. It's easier for me to see wrong pieces if I stand back and look at it.

    • @artokilponen6989
      @artokilponen6989 Před rokem

      ​@@puzzlemethis. I just realized that it makes it both easier and harder that if the puzzle has similar cut that is repeated seven times, you basically always have seven pieces that you can put to pretty much any slot in the puzzle. Obviously a lot of times the color will not make any sense, but still, instead of hunting one piece, you sometimes can look for any of the up to seven pieces.
      That also makes it slightly harder, because of that piece can be "almost right color", although then with finished puzzle you know exactly what the other six options for the given slot are, and you can play around with those options to find the optimal slot order for all seven pieces.
      I know you at least partly mentioned it in earlier videos too, but was it so that there's even more than seven repeats? I know many times 6000 piece puzzle already repeats twice, so is the repeat there 7x2=14 times? That is, does (almost) any given piece fit perfectly to 14 slots of the entire 42 000? Obviously the corner pieces are exceptions.
      Anyway, I'm really impressed that you are able to build this. For the guess, I'll say this will be finished April 28th 2024.

    • @puzzlemethis.
      @puzzlemethis.  Před rokem +1

      @@artokilponen6989 Hi, according to Donnalouise and some others, there are 3 repeats vertically and 2 per section ( 14 total ) going horizontal. So that should be 42 repeating blocks in the whole puzzle. A square of 27 pieces down (27 x 3 =81)and 37 pieces across (2 per section) (37 x 14 =518). There are 7 sections so each section sould have 6 of the same piece. I have noticed at the joint and at the center of each horizonal section there are wider pieces and these pieces aren't always the same as the pattern should be. Someone commented that the 4 out piece that I showed in the video goes at the joint of the first and second sections. The only big part of the puzzle I have done is the sky in the upper right, As I work my way across I will compare that to the next sections and see if it does repeat. I hope that all made sense. I'll put your guess in the book.
