    I wonder where the last piece will go! Please, please video the placement of the last piece for us to see. Okay, I know you still have a lot of puzzling to go, but the progress is exciting and as you showed us the table, I couldn't help but wonder what would get done last...will there be some sky pieces to swap, will it be a "modern building" piece, an "old building" piece, a highly patterned piece, or a solid color? I suppose you could even choose the last piece ahead of time and set it aside to be last. What do you think?!

    • @puzzlemethis.
      @puzzlemethis.  Před 7 měsíci +8

      @tinag4262 Hi again, yes I will film the last few pieces to go in. I think the last piece will be green, there are so many green pieces all over the puzzle. But then again, after all that time spent on the sky, I'll probably be swapping sky pieces around for a long time to come. I won't set a piece aside, that would ruin the fun of seeing what the last piece is. Or we might be missing a few so it could be one we find on the floor after a frantic search (hope not). It will be fun to find out.

    • @tinag4262
      @tinag4262 Před 7 měsíci +1

      I wouldn't want to set aside a piece either, but I thought it was an interesting idea. I also considered that a piece (or two?) may be missing, but that is just too disappointing, and i prefer to remain optimistic that the puzzle will be complete!

    this has to be a world record, I have seen a few people complete this puzzle but no one I know has mixed the 7 bags together and done them as one big puzzle. I love jumbo puzzles but to me 6000 pieces is challenging enough, and 9000 is about the most I will ever attempt. Good Job, I think you will finish it in 2024

    • @puzzlemethis.
      @puzzlemethis.  Před 7 měsíci +1

      @michaelkucharski4251 Hi and thanks so much for watching, There are a couple of people in the comments that are working on this puzzle mixed together, but I don't think they have a CZcams channel. Crazy Puzzle Chick is on CZcams, ( czcams.com/video/IWlMUi0eotc/video.html ) and she just started the Dowdle 60,000 piece puzzle, where she mixed 57,000 pieces. She just started, so I can imagine that it will take her awhile. Yes, you are correct, 6,000 and 9,000 piece puzzles are quite a challenge, john

    What an awesome challenge and method you have figured out. Best to you for a completion in 24
    Some thoughts:
    I'd be so worried about a dropped piece(s) on that floor and overlooking - those floor joints aren't tight. . Keep that place CAT FREE !
    I'd get a big digital display stopwatch - like sports scoreboard - to keep track of the time. Hours Mins Seconds.
    Overhead wide angle stop motion cam that never is moved.
    LIVE stream a session.

      @puzzlemethis.  Před 7 měsíci +4

      @register1430 Hi and thanks so much, and thanks for the ideas. I check the floor regularly and can usually find a couple of pieces, we will probably be missing some at the end and then there will need to be a very detailed search. I would love to do time-lapse videos but just can't get the whole puzzle in the shot. I tried once but all I could really see was just people walking around the table, the fun part is being able to see the pieces go in. If I keep playing with it maybe I can get it to work.

Sort or not, colors or shape of pieces?

      @@puzzlemethis. I dont generally sort jigsaws. I focus on one point that interests me and shake through the box for those pieces specifically and once it is completed enough, it is then time to move onto the next section. That has been my method for 1500-6000 piece but I have never upscaled that to 18000 let alone your 42000 so I hope it still works for me at that 18000 scale. You really should display the completed for the public to pay a token $2 and stand in awe of 42000, or is that just me, respect.

    1:27 That's a Street in Budapest (Hungary)
    1:34 Piazza Del Duomo belongs to Pisa, Florence or Milan (Italy) Given that there are some Towers visible I would suspect it is Milan Location and their Cathedral
    The other one Rege Carolo III should refer to Madrid (Spain) The Triumphal Gate Puerta de Alcala (The Sign is on the top part of its middle Section)
    24:35 There is some mistake with the dark blue/gold Pieces right off your hand since the two portrait shapeed pieces have quite the bump to the others. Suspect you need to interchange them to make it fit correctly. The third of the bottom row and the one that is in the "Head" of the last Piece of the bottom row - something is off here. Try to switch them .
