My husband and I participated in another speed-puzzle competition this past week. Word of the tournament has definitely spread. By the time the event started, the room was PACKED and every table was occupied. The organizer learned their lessons from last time and the selected puzzle for this event was larger (550 pieces) and featured a more complex design. The image has bright sections here and there which made it good for a thorough sort upfront.
Once we sorted as much as we could, we then start working on each of the sorted piles as smaller puzzles. We ended up finishing in 1hr 6mins which is pretty good being a team of just two people. We came in a respectable 6th in teams overall and 1st in pairs. It was quite interesting to note that the teams that did beat us were teams of 4 or more and we also finished ahead of all the other pairs teams by several good minutes.
I was really pleased with how we did. My husband has been such a great sport being my to-go partner and support. I think this event confirms the fact we just honestly need more man/woman-power if we want to come out in the top. Next time!
