The Fastest Puzzle Solver in Britain
Image from Sidmouth Herald by Simon Horn
On August 24 2009 the Sidmouth Herald reported jigsaw king, John Dyson, officially as the “fastest puzzle solver in Britain” after he completed a 18,000 piece puzzle in 286 hours.
just a week before he has finished the 18,000 piece Jungle Scenes Ravensburger puzzle he got for Christmas by his two sons.
the 10 feet by 6 feet four-picture puzzle is considered the hardest puzzle in the world to do, and that meant a challenge for John.
Only two other people in the world had completed it at the time, the reason for it being probably that the dark green border around the pictures had over 2,000 pieces exactly the same.
After contacting manufacturers Ravensburger, the Herald was told his was “an exceptional achievement.”
“We were delighted to hear Mr Dyson had completed Jungle Scenes. We know only of seven other people and one Olympic Rowing team in the UK who have actually persevered to complete this phenomenal challenge.
It is an outstanding achievement for anyone to complete it, but to do it in only four months does take some dedication.”
John has solved the four parts of the puzzle separately it was in four separate bags – one for each picture.
Now he has finished it he is considering putting all the pieces in one bag to make its even harder to complete.
“I like a challenge,” he said. “There are two other jigsaws in the range, one of four world skylines, including Sydney and the US, and I have not heard reports of anyone finishing it. There is a lot of sea and sky!
“I would like to better my time, that is going to be next year’s challenge,” said John.
