Solving A 1000 Piece Puzzle In Under 2 Hours: Welcome To The World Of Competitive Jigsaw-Puzzling

What might take a hobby puzzle player hours - or even days – is done in a jiffy in the eight hands of this Dutch group. These four young women from near Amsterdam took to puzzle solving in no time. The ‘Puzzelpoezen’ – or ‘puzzle cats’, as they’ve named themselves – can now solve puzzles so quickly that they often take first place in championships.

This is awesome. My grandmother and I do a few puzzles a week and I like the strategies these ladies use. Keep it up!

The Puzzelpoezen finally did have their appearance at the World Championships now in 2023 (since they did not compete in 2021-Corona and 2022). Their outfit caught attention and they were *really* fast. In the Teams Final they completed two(!) 1000 piece puzzles in a total of 2h 5min 30sec - which is quite a lot faster than the time shown in the video (1h 30min for one 1000 piece puzzle). Congrats, Ladies!

I just finished my 1000 pc puzzle and it took 32 hrs. But I was working by myself and it was mostly a dark puzzle with lots of shadows. I had to use a flashlight to catch all the details.

Puzzles like that, with every square inch having a part of an image makes it easier. Try one with lots of black or blank in the overall image...

[michaelmorgan]

Yeah Puzzle cats! Hope you win 2021 years in Spain!

0:55 the correct translation is the puzzlepussies not puzzlecats, puzzlecats in Dutch is de puzzelkatten

De kinderspelen van Breugel (3000) zijn prachtig om te doen! En grappig 😅 .

[patrickfitzgerald]

I am "puzzled" about why these Dutch girls speak English more fluently than most American girls.

[PK-cios]
