Edith Puzzles the World

It’s time to switch gears as Edith and Nick begin their journey as a pair at 9AM Spain time (3AM Eastern).

How’s it work?

In the Pairs category, there are four heats in the first round. Each pair will receive two puzzles to choose from to complete within the 75 minute time limit.

What’s at stake?

This round Edith and Nick need to be in the top 85 times of their round to advance to the Pairs Semifinals, which will occur this evening!

How to watch

Here’s the Livestream on YouTube, which will also be watchable after the event is over. Edith and Nick are sitting at table 126.

How did Edith do?

Here’s the results page, which will probably take a while to be fully updated and accurate. It may crash as too many people are trying to view it so please be patient. Also remember that rankings will take a while to be finalized as times continue to be entered, and not necessarily in the order they finished. We’ll know times are final and official when puzzlers who qualified have a flashing “Q” next to them.

Who’s her competition?

Some of the contenders to win it all are here in this first group. The conversation has to start with Kathi from Germany and Chiara from Italy, who were the #2 pair at Worlds last year. Justyna and Krystian from Poland will likely put on a good show. There are a couple of strong Australian pairs in this round as well. From the USA, Kyle and Hannah are pairing up in this round. I’m sure we’re going to see some impressive finishes!
