Hey Johnie, Congratulations!!! To paraphrase Shakespeare's Henry V "We few, we happy few, we band of brother, for you who has fought this puzzle and won, shall be my brother"... 🤪
I FEEL YOUR PAIN! I just did a 515 piece puzzle that took me at least 20+ hours to complete. It is called Lost In A Jigsaw II. It consists of only 3 shapes of pieces: 4 corners exact same cut, 66 border pieces exact same cut, and 445 field pieces exact same cut. So, in essence you could do the whole thing in about 10 minutes and all you would get is an abstract mess of a puzzle since all the pieces will fit with each other any which way. The goal is to solve the puzzle such that you have a start point, pathway, and exit point of a completed maze. Besides all the pieces fitting together any old way, the next difficulty factor is that the picture on the front of the box is NOT the solve and is not the completed maze but just a teaser. They have a little mercy on you and include a miniature picture in greyscale of the completed maze solved correctly. But you need a magnifying glass to see the solve and since all the path of the maze is in pastels, seeing the thing in greyscale does not help you much to figure out the path. I finally had to result to someone on the internet posting their solve and using it to help me with colors. I know one day last week I worked on it all day and only placed about 10 pieces all day. It was a thrift store puzzle and ended up missing 4 pieces for even more difficulty. So, I had to use my scroll saw to cut out 4 wood pieces and hand paint them. I don't usually frame puzzles, but I did that one! It's in place where anyone would be amused to see if they can walk the maze proper! Lastly, a channel you might like is Able 2 Change 1 Thing. Check out what he is doing for his Christmas Advent puzzle adventure. Won't spoil it for you... Thanks again Johnie for a most entertaining puzzle!
Wow that's a crazy puzzle. Can't believe you did that. I know him bye (able to change 1) he did the same star wars puzzle, he left a comment on my previous video. I'm subscribed to him too. Thanks for the comment and thumbs up to you for completing that crazy challenge!!
Well done, I loved doing this one. Believe it or not the Ravensberger Challenge Smurf one is much harder. There are many many identical blue smurfs 😂 .
Well done for slogging your way through that very challenging puzzle. I've only tried two Ravensburger Challenge puzzles, one I gave up on but the other I did complete. The only reason I completed that one is because I realised every single face was different, subtle differences but there. That was the Animal Crossing one. I'm currently working on an Enjoy puzzle called Rainbow Monkeys.
I tried one Enjoy puzzle so far, the colorful trees (every tree has it's own story) or something like that. It was beautiful, I loved the brand. I'm curious, what was the ravensburger that you didn't finish?
@@JigsawJohnie I didn't complete the Super Mario one. I did the 'easy' bits which were the green, yellow and pink. After that I got bogged down with doing the rest!
OHHHH my Goodness... what a hard puzzle I cannot imagine working on the same one for that long..... I have started one today with lots of trees... I will think of you if I struggle..... Happy Holidays I look forward to seeing all your Christmas puzzles... I think one my daughter picked up for me ( as a joke) would be the hardest of all... its called Hay in a Needle stack............. dont remember which TH-camr tried it, but they gave up....... lol
Well, i didn't give up on a puzzle yet but it crossed my mind when i started the Krypt Silver. It looked like a mountain to me until I found a decent strategy. The next ones will be more fun, thanks for watching!! Happy holidays to you too!
Greetings from California, Johnie.🌻 What a toughie! Not for me, but I'm always interested in checking out different puzzles. I try to like every comment on your videos, but I don't know if that helps your channel or not. 😊 Great to see you again. ✌
I really don't know about the likes on the comments, don't worry about it too much, I think what matters is if people enjoy the videos or not. people click and watch the whole thing, or they don't click, or they click but they don't like so they stop watching. TH-cam will recommend you the content that you enjoy watching. Let the algorithm do its thing, the videos will find the right viewers!
@@JigsawJohnie Thanks! I really like all the comments because I love the puzzling community, but I also love helping out the smaller channels when I can. I guess I have too much time on my hands, haha. I know I like to see that other people have liked my comments, so it's just fun sometimes. Keep up the great work! ✌
Nooo I'm sure you'll do better than me. Took me too long to focus on the black lines. I'm sure if you noticed them from the start you'll do good. Work on the faces on the side. The guns and the hands. You'll have less pieces to look for after all that.
Wow. Amazing. I bought a Ravensburger Star Wars puzzle also. Pretty sure it's a challenge one. OMG Thx for the strategy tips.
Good luck have fun!
Wow! I’m not sure how I feel about this puzzle, but I’m definitely impressed with your patience - and perseverance! Well done. 👍
Thanks. Still wondering why people do these puzzles haha. Have you seen the Clementoni Impossibles? Some of these are crazy!!
@ No, I haven’t, but I’ll check them out. I love a challenge, but I also want to enjoy it, not pull out my hair, lol.
Ok, so I would probably do the Peanuts impossible puzzle. I’m a sucker for Snoopy. 😄

:) haha thanks!!! took some time this one!!
Hi, Jigsaw Johnie. Congratulations for completing a very difficult puzzle. I would not attempt it. 😀

@@achild4363 Great. Do it.
@@nicolee1395 I would definitely challenge myself to do this one it would be fun

Wow that looks challenging
Really!
Hello Johnie Congratulations 🎉🎉 I don't think I will do that one I will have a nervous breakdown 😂😂
Really!! Not your usual jigsaw puzzle, definitely a test!
Wow, congratulations! Excellent strategy for getting through this. This is not a puzzle for me, I need COLOR!
I need color too haha! I wouldn't do this multiple times, it was just a one-time challenge deal, never again!
Kudos to you because I don’t think I have the mental strength to do this sort of puzzle 😂😂
Thanks! Don't think I'd do that too often to be honest. Back to the fun stuff now haha!
Foam boards are better than sorting trays IMO beacuse all yhe peices are out and easy to see.
Yes exactly! You see a lot more and you save time!
I’m interested

Have you tried the fx schmidt 1200 piece earth from the moon puzzle? That is a tough one!
Never even heard about it haha I'll google it!
Oh noooo I bought that puzzle. If it was difficult for you. Gonna take eternity for me.
Nooo I'm sure you'll do better than me. Took me too long to focus on the black lines. I'm sure if you noticed them from the start you'll do good. Work on the faces on the side. The guns and the hands. You'll have less pieces to look for after all that.
Hello Johnie
Hey!!
