Last time I checked I do not see this on the 404 page.. ...

Thank you, and yes, it is an ideal house for me. ☺ ☺ ☺

So glad you found "your house". Sometimes we just fall in love with one and know it is perfect for us. That is what I did a few years ago. I so hope you have an uneventful move. 🤗🤗

Thank you! ☺ ☺ ☺

Congratulations on your new house, @patsquire.

👍❤️

Indeed yes, my whole family is gathering here for Thanksgiving and a few days of packing up the house. I've got a good start on it but a lot more is needed. Thanks!

@patsquire
Glad you found a place you like. Take care and keep safe. Get a whole lot of help moving.

Hi everybody!

For the last week or so I've been house hunting in W. Virginia and Pennsylvania. I spent many dreary days seeing awful houses. Then yesterday, Sunday, I found a great house in West Virginia and made an offer on it. This morning I found out that my offer was accepted, so I will be moving from Tennessee to West Virginia in early December!

1844444

Since September 1 we've been adding 60 solves a day.

Good for you Syke! That's a number worth claiming.

@patsquire that would be me , it was fun !

Wow! Who got the 1840000? That's a lot of zeros!

1839841----------------------------------------------------------------------9-01-2023

Congratulations Kw3sta! That's exciting, a huge improvement. While you're here could you please go back and delete your old comments? There are quite a few of them that aren't really relevant any more. Keep having fun! ☺

New personal best! 51 seconds, down from 59.

1 837 222 :)

That's good, Clive. I've been using the new 12-piece option to add solves. Of course, I still do it in the original 35 for the sake of nostalgia, too. ☺

Added 10...1837160.

Good news! We've been 12 years and even 14 years away from 2,000,000 in recent months, but with the new resizing option we are now ONLY 5 YEARS AWAY! Let's have fun!

1836475.

I may try the 12, but I really like the challenge of the 35 !

I've been solving puzzles more than once for 11 years. Sometimes 2 times, sometimes 200 times! It's not cheating! It's fun!

And I just did this in 12 pieces three times and the solve count went up every time, from 1836334 to -337.

I agree the path to 2,000,000 is now wide open. As of only a short while ago I recalculated and came up with a little over 12 years. Now we have a realistic time frame for reaching the magic number! ☺ ☺ ☺

Yes I tried it and it works.

I'm not sure how solving via resizing could be perceived as cheating. But resized solves definitely count - see info here:
https://www.jigidi.com/a/change-number-of-pieces/

I suppose you could also say it was "cheating" if you did a puzzle more than once, but this is really a nice scene and one of these days I will get it done in less than 2 minutes in it's original size. I love a challenge and I solve puzzles on a 5" x 11" laptop. This one with all the white just doesn't get easier with "practice". 😆😆

And again. So yes, resized solves do count. Which will no doubt displease some of the people eagerly waiting to get to 2 million. It seems like cheating. Still gonna take a while, though.

I just solved it with 12 pieces and the total went from 1836278 to 1836279.

That's what I was wondering. If you change the size, does it register as a solve?

Yeah, change the puzzle piece count with the new Jigidi thingy..

12 count?

We'll get to 2 million now before we all die with the new 12 count.

My best time was 1:30.

Well done! I've been doing this for over 10 years and my all time best is 55!

@Joan_2

Then enjoy yourself Joan it too me years to slow down sadly.

My birthday was great.
My retirement party yesterday was wonderful.
Today is my last day of work!
Retirement here I come.

Happy Belated birthday Joan .. Hope you had a wonderful day ..

Couldn't resist doing again solve 1833951

@joan454
Happy Birthday Joan hope you have a good one.

Happy birthday, Joan. 1,833,753

Off we go once again...

Look at that, matching numbers. 1140 comments and 1140 solves! And I grew up at 1140 W. Jubilee Street!

I did it yesterday and will probably do it again today. Trying to get to 1831000.

After I "solve" it, I bookmark it, so it comes up when I get to page 1 of my bookmarked puzzles again. :)

Yipee !!! We are all working on it. My best time is nowhere near one minute, so practice makes perfect. I will get there !!!!

18 222 33

1821560 1:16

1821552 solves so far.

I can't come close to making good time 'cause every time I try to solve it, my phone rings.

I didn't make the board with my solve but took the solves to 1821433.

Made it 1821403 - January 19, 2023.

Wishing it a happy anniversary a day early. My time today was 40 seconds slower than the recorded one. Thanks, Joan.

Five more days.

Have to find a way to get this out to more people !!!! I think if newer puzzlers saw it, they would solve it. Don't quite know how to accomplish this. :)

1820302.

+4 = 1819206

1819201.

1819200

Amazing this is still going! :)

So from October 24 to December 21 of this year, 3340 solves have been added. Not bad.

1819167
I don't get any faster. LOL

1816000

Present and accounted for... 1815952.

Another one bytes the dust. I was number 1815916

@thurman @redina
This is also the record for listing of times on the Board.
No other puzzle lists 15 solvers' times.

1815876.
Just dropping by.

@redina I guess we will have to wait 11 years to see if anyone has caught up.

WOW! I'm glad I saw it. Of course I had to participate.

@thurman This is the record for solves, no doubt about it! :)

1815828

We've gathered another 11 thousand so far this year. Still trying, Joan.

Sure I do. Tell me your name. As for posting puzzles, no thanks.

@patsquire Nothing could be easier, Pat. Don't you want to keep your brain cells alive by learning something new every now and then?

That's a great idea, but I'm not the guy. I don't know how to create and post puzzles. Never have, don't want to, but it's still a great idea for one of our group who knows how!!!

1,814,950

@patsquire You could publish a puzzle to publicize this puzzle to all the newcomers. :-)

@CJ45 @PzzlGrl TPTB = "The powers that be"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_powers_that_be

Yup still solving

1813272.

@PzzlGrl
The power to be
Meaning the people that run jigidi.
Hope this helps.

1,804,093

Thanks!

Jumble, what is TPTB?

Agreed @PzzlGrl
Me and Pat were at the One Million mark.

I thought "Wouldn't it be fun if we could make 2-million by the end of the year!" Then I did the math on that ..... it would be a long
s-t-r-e-t-c-h to do that!

Is thaat next year then Mathew.....just asking. LOL!!!

At the current rate of 40 solves per day, we're looking to the middle of 2035 to reach two million.

1811870.

1 811 278. I am still worse and worse. :-( :-)

@Joan_2 .. I'm trying .. Hee-Hee

I did a few more just now, my contribution towards the goal. Bookmarked it for more later. Barring a crash in the system, I believe we'll make it!

Just helping to get this one to 2 million .. Fun
