Is this a faster way to puzzle?

I think it’s just her being relaxed, since she kept a cool head she was able to do more than others. It’s her own technique

She looks like she is throughout just picking up a piece and putting in the correct place ... all the time, not trying it in several places!

As I am about to enter into a Speed puzzle competition just for fun 53 minutes seems like an impossibly short time for using one hand. Lol

Her being Norwegian is lore accurate

How do you know if the person has never done the puzzle before and if so does that mean they're not allowed to use that puzzle at a competition because of the advantage? Could someone know what puzzle would be used a head of time and practice it? Just some thoughts as a puzzle hobbyist

I don't think the hands are the bottleneck in the system. Unless someone comes along who can efficiently place two pieces at the same time.

I'm looking at the unfinished puzzle that's been on my living room floor for MONTHS. 😭😅

And what was your time on that puzzle with two hands please?

She is like that because she only using 10% of her full strength. 😂

I mean, you can only think about one thing at a time kinda so it makes sense because with both hands you’re picking up two pieces placing them down but you have to individually know which two pieces are picking up where you’re putting them down and it doesn’t save much timecompared to

You thinking having already done the puzzle before only gives you a "little bit" of an advantage is what's crazy. What time did you get on your first go

This is the most Norwegian way to excel at something. You look as though you aren't even trying, perform incredibly, and then don't even look excited about it

I highly doubt that using one hand has anything to do with her strategy

NORWAYY

You need to look far more bored to shave those 20 minutes off.

Now that I think about it, beyond opening the box and flipping over pieces at the beginning, I don’t think I ever actively use 2 hands when putting together a puzzle

"I'm gonna tr🚪it..."

Yeah, moving the pieces is far from the bottleneck, right? Mentally scanning and categorising/ locating the pieces must be the main work. At a guess, one handed style evolved because she's putting the focus on looking at pieces. A second hand gets in the way of that.

slow is smooth, smooth is fast

I didn't even know a puzzle championship existed.

The 20 minute is easy... you organized your pieces when she didn't.

her "I'm gonna try it!" face is just fantastic

Cool video, never knew jigsaw puzzling was a sport. I think you actually undersell the competitive puzzler’s achievement though. Solving a puzzle the second time around isn’t a small advantage, it’s an absolutely gigantic advantage.

My guess is that she's already solving it half in her head. She's just placing it. I mean, not over and over looking each piece.

She has some impressive pattern recognition skills.

Slow is smooth
smooth is fast
Exemplified.

Move over Chuck Norris

I've never known anyone to two hand a puzzle. The concept is foreign to me.

This is my wife’s puzzling hero. She now mostly puzzles like this and has found good success with it.

good job not answering the question

No its wild you actually think 1 hand is better

There are puzzle competitions !!!!! Where was this when I was a kid

Easier to focus on one hand and to organize the pieces around it

I’ve found my people.

The Whatttt.....???

I was not aware that such tournaments exist

That glimpse of a smile is essentially a Norwegian touchdown dance

Does She have a name?

I agree

I solve rubik'svcubes and go to official competitions by wca but i also like jigsaw puzzles and i was wondering where i could find competitions to join.

With her 2 hands the puzzle would be over in 10 minutes 😅

imagine if she used both hands how fast she could do it! she probably was processing a LOT in her brain tho and putting it together in her head first

I notice that when I do puzzles, every time I switch to one hand all of a sudden my flow is way better.

She is good, that's how she did it honey :)

The puzzles have different shapes

Now try to do it with both hands.

The key is how long it took you the first time you did it vs your second time.

For sure the reincarnation of an ancient Viking goddess. :P
