      I would love to see the giant Keith Haring jigsaw. Actually, I'd like it myself, but I would also need a Patreon to cover the cost. The biggest puzzles I've done have been 2,000 pieces, but I don't think I'd tackle one that is so similar overall as the 💛Minion💙 one.

    The biggest puzzle I ever finished was one of the 9000 pieces Ravensburger puzzles (the world map one). Since I'm not as efficient as Karen at puzzling it took me over 200 hours over 14 months but I'm so proud that I finally finished it! I'm really curious to see how long it'll take her to finish hers, the stats at the end are always so fun :D

    My daughter just finished doing her first giant puzzle of 3000 pieces. It's from Trefl and is called "Sunset by the rocky coast". It took her around 4 weeks which sounds like a lot of time but it really isn't considering she is just seven and has a bit of lower attention span than us adults. But we are so proud of her achievement..... we ended up buying a 4000 piece one for her called "Arctic Harmony". Will let you know how she went with that once she starts working on it. Right now she is doing a bit smaller ones as her school has started and we are getting her ready for an oncoming jigsaw competition in our city. Wish her luck and will let you know in April how it went as well.
    Thanks Karen for being such a big motivation for her and she was super excited last time to hear back from you. Best of luck. We love you.

    The biggest puzzle I’ve completed was a 6000pc Bits & Pieces one called “Window Wonderland” by Lewis Johnson. It was difficult mostly because it was a stained glass type image and a majority of the pieces were just a flat color that looked as though they could go anywhere on the puzzle! And having only standard piece shapes certainly did not help either! It had a missing piece which was really disappointing... UNTIL... I found the missing piece a YEAR later this past January in another room underneath our old vacuum: undamaged! I thankfully still had the puzzle together in sections so I was able to put the piece in right away. Now the puzzle is complete and I can sleep well at night😂
    Anyways, great progress on the ‘Minion’ puzzle, I can’t wait to see it finished!

I had to start by building a table to have something large enough to build it on all at one time. And with one grey elephant taking up like a sixth of the puzzle, I almost didn't have the energy to finish it! But I did and now it is mounted on the wall - all 9' x 6' of it! (minions!)

  • @mediumjohnsilver
    @mediumjohnsilver 2 роки тому +15

    More fun math. If you started with one random piece and then took each piece out of a bag and tried it in place - with a fifty percent chance of finding the correct piece halfway through the bag - then repeated this process until the puzzle is complete, it would take on average
    ((2249x4500)+2250)x2 tries = 20,245,500 tries.
    If each round (of pulling a piece from the bag, evaluating whether it fits, and discarding it into a pile) takes just 4 seconds, then the entire puzzle would take 133 weeks nonstop. This would essentially be blindfolded jigsaw puzzle solving.
    Conclusion: It’s really good to have a strategy, or plenty of Minions. 😀😀😀😀

    The biggest puzzles I've ever done were 2000 pieces... 😥 Yeah. I know. I'm a serious amateur. Even if I've been doing puzzles since I was probably 5, and I did large puzzles (okay, large to me - 1000, 1500, etc) with my mother for decades, and we did the 2000 piece puzzles together.
    Here's the kicker, though - we did them with cats living with us! We've always had kitties, so there have been ... challenges sometimes. 😄 Mostly, though, they were always well-behaved, and we only occasionally had a piece or two that we'd accidentally knocked off get discovered with a couple of tiny teeth holes in them. 😀 😉

    my dearest Karen, I am quite literally your biggest fan. I am a complete jigsaw puzzle addict as well. I was born pretty late in my mothers life. She had me when she was 45 years old. By the time I was 12 years old my mother had become quite ill and suffered of many different illnesses. At 12 I had started doing all the things that a mother normally does for her child. however I also was going to school full time and caring for a sick and ailing parent. I did everything from paying bills, grocery shopping, house cleaning, bathing my mother, dressing her, giving her all of her medications, helping her use the restroom etc.....I should also mention that my mother was in a wheel chair as well...... long story...umm short? lol... she asked me to quit school in grade 10 and care for her 24/7 as she was in fear of falling while I was at school... of course I did so and she and I would sit for hours and hours putting together jigsaw puzzles. My mother passed away when i was 25. Today I am still doing puzzles as often as i can however I am now 47 and disabled myself with very bad back issues from lifting my mother in and out of her chair and into bed etc. I also suffer from Fibromyalgia. If given the chance I wouldn"t change a thing even though at 25 after my mother passed away I was left alone, uneducated and no work experience...My mother was and always while be my very best friend. 8 1/2 years ago she sent me my soulmate and my new best friend in way of my common law husband. What used to be my mothers and i past time is now something i share with my husband. Thank you so very much for allowing me to watch your videos and remember my mom and the special times that we shared. I am on a disability pension now so I cannot afford puzzles brands such as Springbok, Ravensburger, White Mountain etc. so i live vicariously through your videos lol....thank you for the memories......

    My biggest puzzle ever was 2000. It took months. It was very hard but the most enjoyable puzzle I’ve ever done. Thoroughly recommend for any one who plays an orchestral musical instrument. It is Heyes, Loup, the orchestra. It’s the one in the big triangle box. All the musicians, even though they don’t have enough fingers, are all spot on in the way they are holding instruments and what they are getting up to. Fascinating. And hard all the way through, even down the the last three pieces.
    A musician friend who saw it on my wall stared for about 15 minutes then bought a copy for her husband’s birthday.
    My dad always used to want to do some,….but that might have been because he thought that some of the ladies were interesting….
    Warning, parents please check a close up image before purchasing for a child. It’s not terrible but it’s not completely innocent either.

    I love seeing you tackle big puzzles! I can't wait to see this one all together, it's going to look great! The biggest I've done is 2000, but I just bought some 3000 piece puzzles that I can't start until I get some foam board to make my work space a bit bigger. I'm trying to work my way up to eventually doing the 42,000 piece Educa Around the World puzzle (in 6000 piece sections, of course!)

    The biggest puzzle I've ever completed was a 3000 piece Jan van Haasteren puzzle. I have started on a 5000 piece Pokémon puzzle (also by Ravensburger) but than we found a house and are now in the process of moving. Since I wasn't actually that far yet I decided to pack it back up and continue after we finished moving in a couple months. I still have a 2000 piece Jan van Haasteren to finish as well that my boyfriend got me for Christmas. Might do that before the 5000 piece one to get back into it. Love the giant puzzles, looking forward to seeing all the little "minion"s show up next time

    Minion: Up to now, the largest single amount of pieces I’ve built is 6000 - that was the Venice Sunset by Clementoni. I built the 13,200 piece Disney Orchestra, but the largest section I did of that was 4408 pieces (two sections mixed). I am currently working on the 9000 piece Disney Museum by Ravensburger and I have mixed the pieces, so once that’s done, it will be the biggest single amount of pieces I have tackled. This Minions puzzle looks so fun - I love the bright colours. I would love to try the dragons 9000 piece by Ravensburger too, but they are so expensive I tend only to buy the large ones every now and again. 😊 I’m looking forward to your next few videos on this, what will you do with it once you’re done? Take apart? I still haven’t decided with my Disney Museum one - I thought about giving it to my sister to frame as she is a massive Disney fan

    I have something against the Minions, it's the sounds they make, but I do love seeing things like this puzzle. giant puzzles are SO intimidating to me, honestly
    I think my biggest puzzle so far was a 2000 piece puzzle, I mostly do 1000 piece puzzles or smaller. I would love to do a huge one eventually, but I'd also need something with a LOT going on so I could do tiny sections at a time and still feel that sweet sweet serotonin every time I get something done. this puzzle has so much empty space that I really would not consider doing it myself.

    the biggest puzzle I have completed was a 3000 piece Ravensburger "zodiac". I do have a 6000 piece Clementoni "Downtown" and a 4000 piece Educa "Lighthouse at Rockbay" in my to do pile. I would love to get my hands on the 9000 piece minion puzzle. I think it is awesome that you love it so much without every seeing any of the movies. Can't wait until the next installment!

  • @GraemeRobinson

    Thanks for posting Karen. I'm currently embarking on the second half of a 9000 piece puzzle (Garden of Earthly Delights - Educa). Its feeling so much easier and more fun than getting started on the first half. I have learned so much about sorting and process. Basically sorting is everything with this puzzle. With only the edge and one small section complete I have all the pieces laid out in rows on 60x55cm sheets of corflute (stiff cardboard type plastic used for signage) in rough colour sorts - this makes it easy to pick out the next section pieces I want to work on and gives your brain a chance to 'remember' where individual pieces are. I concluded that paramount is easy access to *all* the pieces with a large puzzle. Having boxes of stacked pieces is not good with such a large puzzle and I struggled with that early on in the first section.

    This minion puzzle makes me somewhat curious generally: a lot of my experience with puzzles is getting very familiar with a certain few edges or areas I'm working on, so when I see the right piece that fits, I know immediately where it goes. (For example, I might have put together a section with a stripe, but it was missing a piece, so as I move forward I know to be on the lookout for a piece with part of the stripe in it.) With such a large puzzle, do you ever lose your place? Do you forget about a particular section, and overlook pieces that go there? Do you try to keep all the open edges and missing pieces in mind at once? Or do you try to laser-focus on the section you're working on and just totally ignore anything that's not top of mind?

    Hi Karen! I'm fairly new to the channel and I have started puzzling again thanks to your videos! I was very little, about 10 years old when I helped my grandfather with his 10000 piece puzzle. I did a small section that was like 20 pieces or so and was so proud of myself! Still it was better than Valentina 😂
