Edith absolutely crushed her semifinal puzzle today, puzzling a totally new unreleased puzzle against some of the best in the world. And she finished in just under 50 minutes – one of her best times ever for her first attempt at a 500 piece puzzle!
Unfortunately in this field of very skilled puzzlers, Edith’s time of 49:48 was not in the top 60 to advance to the Individual Final.
The last person to qualify from Edith’s Semifinal round had a time of 47:36. To give you an idea of how close together these puzzle finishes were, that means that 15 more people finished in just under a minute after that to put Edith in 75th place!
We knew going into this event that qualifying for Finals would be a close call. Edith had a lot of fun even puzzling in the heat of the dome, and she posted a fantastic time today! She’s excited to puzzle in the pairs competition with her partner Nick tomorrow, and then teams on Friday. Even though this is the end of her Individual journey for Worlds this year, there’s lots more puzzling to come!
