Are you a therian?
No. 🤣 Just a speed puzzler.
Hahaha well done!! this is crazy, and I kind of want to try it 😂😂 Ill see if I can find a smaaaall puzzle 😅😮
This made me think of you because I know you do this art thing without watching your hands. So you would do awesome! 🔥🤩👩🏻🎨
I take a picture of all my puzzles so I can zoom in on the image.
That’s smart!
Wow looks so amazing!
It does!
I think you should give it one more go, but this time not a circular puzzle, and with a brand that’s not known for false fits. Still a very small puzzle, but the normal square or rectangle shape. I think it’d be a bit easier. You could sort by piece shapes and use the knobs to help you. You did great, though
Thanks! I think I’m done with this challenge though. And based on my own experience I highly doubt that more regular size would be easier (for me) Maybe if less than 25 pieces… because at least with this one I knew if the piece goes to the outer, second, third or middle circle by the size. 😄
I love the background music
Thanks!
@@puzzlewithemilia you welcome
I don’t know why I’m here but I love it
Happy to have you here 🤩
Love it

@@puzzlewithemilia great puzzle emillia
Awesome Emilia
You too!!!
Maybe stupid but very funny to watch! I would've given up 10 minutes in lol Awesome job coach!
KZread giving me some extra motivation, no giving up because I don’t wanna do another video. 😆 Good for my development though.
Wow, you actually did it!! Well done!! 🤩 I definitely want to try this as well! 😄 I know the perfect puzzle, too: a wooden Unidragon Bubblezz puzzle of 30 pieces. ❤ I've been trying to think what would be a good challenge for it and this is just perfect, thank you Emilia!! 🥰❤️
Thank you 🤗 I’m looking forward to seeing how you will do with that wooden puzzle 🤩
The way you wrap the cloth on your face was funny and the challenge is soooo hard I don’t wana do it
I felt like it took a decade. 😅 And that scarf was so tight that I would not even move my eyes under my closed eyelids 🤣
lol…final words? “This was stupid” Well it might’ve been stupid but you persevered and didn’t give up! I do love seeing you and your hubby interacting together….he was a good false fit detector! 😂
If I could curse on a video, I believe my words would have been something else than just ’stupid’ and ’terrible’. But they I did it! 🤣 Daniel is the best. He seems to have lots of fans here! 😄 I already forgot but now that I have seen the video myself, I want to go back and see if those pieces were honest manufactured false fit or was there something off that I could have detected myself. 😊
Congratulations for completing this crazy challenge! 🎉 It looks so hard, yet I kinda want to try it out. 😅 I'll have to see if I can find a suitable puzzle... Intuitively I think I would have done some things the same and some different than you. Also I realized while watching that one way to detect the edge pieces in a circular puzzle (where you suspect there might be other "straight" edges) could be trying them against the table. That way you could at least tell what way the "straight" edge is curving.
Ahhhhhh that’s true. It didn’y occur to me to use the table that way. What I did realise after some time was to pile all the pieces I have tried (instead of having them separately) and in the end I changed that I didn’t try one piece everywhere but I chose one spot and tried all pieces to it. However, I should have keep a count how many pieces I have left. I only changed this latter strategy when I had aeound 13 pieces left. I should have changed to it at latest at 20 pieces. But I had no idea how many where there 😅 It looked so different when I saw this video afterwards.
Hello Emilia
Hello!
@@puzzlewithemilia helllo Emilia a great challenge
That’s such a cool challenge! I absolutely loved it
You had fun watching and laughing! :D Unfortunately, your jokes like "do you need more light" were sped up on the video...
One and done challenge! I don't think i would try this challenge! You did so well though😮 I think it's a great challenge, but too hard for me 🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩 Hopefully others will try it and post theirs on KZread. :) :) :)
Thanks. And I have to say that I would only recommend this maybe with even smaller puzzle. Mentally tough. I do this puzzle in 3 mins without the blindfold so 1h40min feels crazy long. I mean... it like 0.5 piece in a minute. :D
I promised myself no more stupid challenges but what about doing two puzzles simultaneously? Thumbs up for YES! :D
I've done this with a two-in-one puzzle box where I just mixed all the pieces. Same artist, similar colors and textures but also differences It was an interesting experiment! 😅
Although I did it in a very straight forward way so it was quite similar to doing just a 1000 piece puzzle instead of two 500 piece puzzles. You could definitely add many twists to it.
Where did you see the livestream? Was it on KZread?
The Spanish Association has their own KZread channel. I added the name of the channel and link to it in the description. It wasn’t easy to find, I forgot it add it ealier. Thanks for reminding and asking! 😊
@@puzzlewithemiliathank you so much!!! ❤❤❤
Meow Im a cat thank you for using this sound its based of me
Is that so!
Cute kitties!
Kitty cats!!!
❤
Such a great interview! 🧡
Thank you! I’m glad to hear you liked it!
I enjoy all your analysis even the ones not about puzzles, I love to know people correlates things. I learn new things about other cultures, maybe I would never see how those topics are so similar. Keep doing it
About the already publish puzzles, I agree with you, I'm going to participate at my first in person competition and they are going to use a brand I don't really like so I only have a couple options to train. Definitely not going to buy them just because they may appear on the competition and end up with a pile that I don't like or have to sell them after
Thank you for the feedback. It’s good to hear that some enjoy my talking whether it’s direcly or not linked to speed puzzling. I feel like I’m on a loop about repeating my opinion about the published puzzles. Not sure if I can get over it until it’s ”fixed” but if it never will then I should just let it go eventually 😅
I really enjoy you analyzing stuff ... keep it up. I’ve decided Alejandro is a perfect example of actual multitasking which very few people can really do. It’s so interesting watching the fastest puzzlers.
I forgot to mention in a video (my bad 🙈) but I also saw Alejandro putting two pieces in at the same time. It seems like he first looks place for two pieces and then places them simultaneously (on the same area and with same hand movement). I think it makes sense in a way that it reduces hand and eye movement. I have the exact moment in my notes. I can comment it here later so you all can go watch from the livestream what I mean! It’s a bit tricky to explain clearly. 😊
@@puzzlewithemilia It is absolutely riveting to watch him. I have never seen someone actually multitask in real time. People think they are multitasking, but they are generally just switch between tasks quickly. You can almost see his mind working.
@@tvmom That’s true. Multitasking isn’t really a thing (scientifically speaking). That’s why I also like to follow puzzlers eye movements and try to ”see” what are the focusing on and when and how to switch between things.
Great video again, thanks for your insights 🙌. Definitely motivating to keep practicing instead of blaming bad results on some missing gene or lack of talent.
And there is the research we all know that if it’s others, we blame it on ”internal” reasons, BUT if it’s us, we blame external reasons. And even funnier is that even being aware this thinking error, we still tend to do it. So it’s really a struggle to try to focus on the things we can affect on. I have tried that when I get these thoughts, at least I won’t give them more power by saying them out loud. 😊
I agree with you about already published puzzles in the championships….obviously the people who can afford to buy all the puzzles and do them ahead of time will have an advantage…and I think having unpublished puzzles can level the playing field a little. Of course in every sport or game, the people who can afford the higher quality coaches, equipment, etc have a larger advantage….but especially since this is open to the public to try, any attempt at avoiding an advantage would be better. I also think your counter setup is more comfortable than leaning over a table like in the competitions..I think having higher tables would be easier on the competitors and people would probably be faster due to less back pain and fatigue from leaning. I think you’re on to something there…now if only puzzle competitions would raise their tables!
That’s true. Actually why I know about is because when I played sports in National Team back in time, I didn’t have money to pay for it so I seeked for sponsors. I would have not been able to play otherwise. (Nowadays, I work in marketing so I do sponsorship deals from the business side). And even with puzzles, in some countries only 5xRavenburger puzzles can cost 100€. That’s not small money for all. And the table issue is another story. For me, it doesn’t affect my time. I also do puzzles on my kitchen table. Kitchen counter is definitely better for back pain (doesn’t really help me as feet pain is bigger issue for me nowadays). On the lower table I actually see the pieces better. But this is so individual how it affects. Maybe somewhere in the future this sports can afford those electronic tables that you can adjust 🤣 not sure what would be the rules for that though.
There will be Portugal championships on 29-30th June and also British Nationals will be tomorrow - not sure about live streams
Portugal seems interesting!!! If anyone from their organizers or board sees this message, please, let us know more. 😊
British nationals coming up! next weekend the 26th of june to july 1st if im not mistaken. dont know if it will be streamed anywhere tho! and I love all the analyzing you do!!!
I think it’s the hidden one they have had for years. SJ has been my source of information for that one. Someone from WJPF told me that UK may have more ”official” one later in autumn. But I don’t know too much what’s going on with that so I won’t speculate. 😊
I enjoy listening to your talks: puzzling, einstein, psychology, analysis all the things you have to say are interesting! 🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉 Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us 😁😄🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉
Thank you so much. I’m glad to hear that. I feel like I touch sometimes subjects that are a bit more complex and would be worth more than my two side sentences in a video. But I also cannot make like 10hour videos to explain every little thing from all millions perspectives. 😅
Wowowowowow Thanks that was super cool
Thank you Mr. Puzzle Hubby :D
Was extremely busy last weekend but finally found time to catch up. Great analysis on Kristin and its very obvious you, like most people, have a ton of respect for her and are just trying to learn from the best! I can understand how you might have been a little disappointed with the results but on the other hand, if you keep in mind how recent you started puzzling compared to some people doing puzzles their whole life, you might actually be one of the best puzzlers out there!
Well I wouldn’t try to learn from someone I have no respect for. She is crazy good. 😃 Thanks for the comment! I think I’m more annoyed that I can’t figure out any factors or circumstances what made me tripping up. One practice I understand but the whole week was going places. 😃 I may not be the fastest speed puzzler but I’m not hunky-dory when my analyzing isn’t working because that I excel at.
I remember Karen from Karen puzzles trying to race her after the worlds championship in Spain was over and Kristin won. Her and Alejandro brought their parents to worlds and did amazing. I think the secret to win is to bring you parents😂okay, all seriousness, they have a way of processing images and hand coordination that is pretty cool.
Haha! Parental magic!
Cute 😍
Supaw!
Thanks for sharing your experience! I was thinking the anime puzzles were a little strange, but not a bad choice as not as many people would have done them. But sounds like quite a few people had done them anyway. (I do enjoy watching My Hero Academia, but haven't seen the other!)
This is exactly what I was thinking first too. Odd choice - like Christmas puzzles off-season, or like TV-show puzzles are rarely seen on competitions. And then I was sure that no one have done these as I don’t even remember seeing these but I was wrong with that! I will need to expand my collection with these kind of puzzles now. 😊
So colourful 😊
And lovely colors. Give me energy! 😊
