tbh, the biggest brain teaser is how any of those 11 pieces were supposed to be birds.... Also, even though the puzzle itself might have been too simple for you, it was very rewarding as a viewer to actually be able to trust your progress. Usually the big twist means that you have to scrap all of your progress several times before you discover it

[DiacriticalOne]

It looks like 5 of the pieces are symmetrical so that their placement is the same for either side. It might save time on these sorts of puzzles to identify flip-identical pieces so that you can minimize time spent on them. Even though it was a little unexpectedly “simple”, it was enjoyable to watch for sure.

Well, they can't all be winners 💁🏻‍♀What do you all think of this brainteaser? How do you think it could have been made more engaging?

Also, I know you're all waiting for Part 2 of the competition video, and I promise I'm working on it! I'm hoping to post it in 2 weeks!

Because this one seems deceptively easy at first glance, I think that it might make a good coffee table item. For when you have friends or relatives visiting for a few days.
It’s also one of those items that you find when staying at a holiday house or country cabin with no phone reception - as a kid, before mobile phones, I used to love finding the games cupboard in a holiday house or at a friends place when you were all inside for the evening without tv or anything else to do but read or play games or do puzzles together.
My sister was a puzzle bully, so I now much prefer to do puzzles by myself - don’t touch my puzzle lol.
One holiday my father and I spent hours together Working on a puzzle. We came back from a hike only to find that my mother (and older sister) had “moved” the puzzle from the table top.
We went looking for it and to our horror found that all of our hard work had been swept back into the puzzle box. I began to fall apart, but my dad said that we would start again and this time we would have all the knowledge that we’d learnt from before. So we started over, and I absolutely remember how my dad made absolutely sure that NO ONE moved that puzzle until we had finished it. Thankfully, everyone got the message and that puzzle didn’t leave that table until we had finished it together lol.
Looking back, I now realise that my dear old dad had done all the “sky” areas, and then helped me with the more colourful sections. It’s a really good memory. Thanks for sparking it for me 🙂🐿❤️🌈

I only do 1000 piece puzzles, but this 11 piece one is way harder! Love that you do these kind of puzzles to save me the brain ache

[smilergrogan]

I can’t tell exactly without measuring, but it looks like each piece is a perfect circle with each of the 3 nibs exactly at one of the 12 clock positions. If you stack the pieces, do the nibs line up vertically? If that’s true (or even close), then there’s a way to simplify labeling the pieces and spaces to make it easy to match them up without trial and error, using the same system chemists use to uniquely name similar molecules. So, if you number the 12 positions around the circle 1-12, you can identify each piece by a three number sequence that gives the relative positions of the nibs, the same way chemists do for ring (cyclo) molecules that have multiple branches. For example, the first piece you placed would be called 1, 2, 3 because it had 3 adjacent nibs, and that would be the same no matter how you rotated or flipped the piece over. A piece with 3 nibs equally spaced around the circle would be called 1, 5, 9 and one with 3 at right angles would be 1, 4, 7. The rule is to always number the positions around the circle so the positions with nibs have the lowest numbers possible while going in order around the circle from first to last. If you then name the black spaces the same way, it would be relatively easy to compare names and know which pieces can fit into which spaces without trial and error.

(By the way, this puzzle is also a good way to illustrate the “lock and key mechanism” for enzyme activity in biochemistry)

It's amazing how puzzles with so few pieces can be so complicated.

[mariec]

It may not have had a tricky trick but I like the look of that one. You could mindlessly jiggle about with it and stumble on the solution easier than the other puzzles. Less brain teaser and more fidget toy? Eleven likes from me. 😊

[josh]

I don't see eleven birds, to me they look like inflated rubber gloves.

[catherine.puzzles]

Yay I‘m early for once! Karen, I found your channel about 1 year ago when I started to get into puzzling more and was looking for tips to solve solid colour puzzles, but I stayed for all your other content. Greetings from the Netherlands! :)

[dennisdistant]

I am on a serious binge watching streak of your videos. I watched at least eleven videos of yours in the last couple of days.

[janayecomegan]

Idk why watching someone do a puzzle quickly is exciting but it is 🤭 love your sense of humour and videos Karen!

[andreberna]

hi karen, thanks to you i recently bought 2 1000 pieces puzzles for my birthday, its the first time i'm doing one since i was a kid. i finished my first one yesterday and it was so much fun, i now know why you like it so much. thanks from brazil

[rolandliu]

Hey Karen! Love your videos. Funnily enough, I actually went to school with Katie (I was a year or two below her) and was shocked when I saw her in your videos XD

I wanted to suggest checking out the Magic Puzzle Company, specifically the Mystic Maze if you haven't done it before. I think you might really enjoy it! It's a really colorful puzzle with unique shapes and a *surprise* :)

[GuyWithTheDogs]

It took me fewer than eleven seconds to know that I wouldn't have any fun doing these brain teaser puzzles, but it's fascinating to watch you do them. Thank you for putting these puzzles together while the world watches!

[rhysiemcginnis]

Hey, Karen. For your next huge puzzle, I would like to suggest the Ravensburger Disney Memorable Moments puzzle. I know it’s a huge one but I’d love to see you complete it!

[analuisa]

I think this puzzle didn't have any twist because it is a low difficulty puzzle. You wouldn't expect something so intricate in an easy puzzle, so it does make sense. If it had a twist it definitely wouldn't be expected to take only 15 minutes to complete.
Also, I can not see 11 birds at all lol I didn't really understand the name of this one, maybe they were just not creative that day?

[OMGclueless]

Watching Karen flip over symmetric pieces to try them "both ways" was making me angry at my computer! 🤣

[lunz.thatsit]

Hayy I love to watch your videos while puzzling myself-thank you

[PokhrajRoy.]

It’s a Sunday treat to see a new video from the channel!
