Bump, completed puzzle in 6:39:09 worst time I took to complete puzzle

Sadly that doesn't get you on board any more, but plenty of time to improve it now that you know where all the pieces fit.

And this time all you need to solve is 1 puzzle :)

For some reason or another there seem to be lots of familiar names on the board. :)

Completed in 5:12:25; one of the hardest jigidi I finished

You could try some of the old ones, I'd say they are harder at least on your eyes

It would be nice if jigidi allowed me to login AFTER I solve the puzzle without losing progress :P

Not like it matters if your time is too slow already to get on board. At least it's so much fun to solve.

Managed to finish it within 03:05:42. Harsh white parts :)

Yeah no way I'll make it in less than 3 hours so i'll keep this one for a long winter night.
Also not for nothing but I'm currently on a a 400 pieces puzzle on jigidi that has a leader board topped by a magician who solved it in one second so I guess jigidi can be cheated for time...

Nonsense, just believe in yourself and you can do it.
Was it an old puzzle? I hear there were some tricks that have been disabled, but maybe it was a hacker or something.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope 2 days old. Doesn't really matter here cause I don't believe anyone would cheat but I really don't get people. So that douche now has a #1 spot he obviously cheated for. Yay lol
I'm not usually brimming with self confidence but I know what I can and can't do. My average on puzzles that big is about 1:30 so factoring the big white, I won't beat the top 10 but it's all good. I'll do it for fun and challenge, not for the prize ;)

Maybe they just got lucky and the pieces fell that way from the box.

It's not done until you get on the board, so you get to have the fun all over again and again :P

FYI people used to hand out prizes to the fastest jigidi solvers, but then that stopped because there are several tools out there that can slow the clock down and get it done in under 5 minutes.
But if i have to do it again I'm going to use that and just be #1, it will take me another day lol
Comment has been collapsed.
So the site uses PC clock and not their own, that's just silly. Good thing you still have to solve it which is kind of the punishment here. You're the first one ever to tell me about such tools, but I guess there must be some kind of cheats if there are 1 sec times.
Comment has been collapsed.
The whole thing is powered by flash, and anyone can manipulate flash.
Example: This contest a while back i think it was later discovered some users cheated but claimed it bugged out. On flash tools you could pause the clock and finish the puzzle in a matter of seconds but that would look too suspicious so normally on the final puzzle piece you resume the clock and finish at a reasonable time.. He accidentally finished it before resuming the timer and got caught.
40 seconds to do like a 120-160 piece puzzle, that's way more than a puzzle piece a second, that was the big giveaway.

Thanks for the information. So if there are any more evil puzzles to come, they will require you to record the solving on YouTube or even stream it live so others can laugh at your pain. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Doing that will probably mean a lot less people entering that contest, it then starts to be too much work unless the game is worthwhile.
Comment has been collapsed.
If I get 10 people it's already plenty enough. People have solved this puzzle 49 times and they aren't even sure of what they might win.
Comment has been collapsed.
OK, anyone who recognises my name from Jigidi leaderboards will know I'm no slouch. There's fuckery afoot. Some of those times are not possible without cheating.
Comment has been collapsed.
I might offer an extra bonus for anyone who records their <1h solving just to prove that it can be done.
Comment has been collapsed.
what most people do is put the giveaway link in the message part of the jigidi. It's not too late to add it in there and inform everyone that it's there.
I've done it twice myself and that is enough for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
And where exactly can I get a giveaway link for something I can't give away here?
Comment has been collapsed.
I would suggest putting a piece of the key in the first jigidi's message then create a new jigidi just as large and hide segments of the key in the puzzle itself on the new jigidi or in it's message.
Have a countdown to when that new puzzle goes live, I think that would be better.
Comment has been collapsed.
That would only allow the first one to see it to get the key and nobody else would solve the puzzle any more ruining the evil fun for me.
It would also discriminate against people who have a life, job or whatever silly reason to not always be online. I have already done giveaway links in the message but for these kinds of cases I want something different. Always open to creative ideas that would be fair for everyone who wants to take part during a week or two.

And you did it in less than 10 minutes without cheating!
Comment has been collapsed.
I will attest to your non-slouchness! I have beaten your score from time to time, but most often your name is at the top!:)
And the one that has it solved in under 3 minutes. Nope. There is no way that is a legit time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nr. 1 with a solving time of 2:13 min. by 420 pieces.
Clear cheating
Because other ones explained that it is very easy to cheat there that is new to me i will say "such contests are death for me now when i want win and not do it only for the fun of solving the jigidi". Everytime wonder myself why people can be so much faster then i. Often the same people that are very fast -mostly 3x faster, partly 5x faster- and i think i know now why a part of them appears by every jigidi in the top10.
So sorry i don't enter with such "chances"
Sorry for you that such people ruin your and all other ones jigidi(s) :o(
EDIT: I will think in the next days over counter measures against the cheaters. At the moment i am too sleepy for that.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah didn't know either. Apparently people will cheat at anything. That guy was just really bad at it but doesn't mean others haven't. I'll just do it for fun later

Still waiting for anyone to prove their time on video. If this is not happening, it might just become more evil. :)

i finally completed this :p took me so long i'm slow have a bump

28.5h left and rules took a very evil twist. That's what people get for believing in this scam. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
As one of those people who always appears in Top10 jigidi leaderboards, I know that I am really fast.
So, for the sake of justice and just because I can: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKzd2e5UIhM
1h 19m (my previous result was 1h 50m+, but I was using bad solving tactics that time).
I don't even know how to do it a lot faster than this without cheating.
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess either by being a Korean Zerg or by having incredible luck with fitting the pieces.

Since nobody took the YouTube challenge, I randomized the winner from the people who reported slow times here and the winner from them is jeffd5.
At least everyone else had great fun taking part in an evil scam. :P

If that's the prize then you may have to roll again as i already own that lol
Comment has been collapsed.
Well you heavily implied that it was but people are quite generous with such trickery here so nobody ever takes these things at face value. :p
Comment has been collapsed.
Even if you announced it, i still did the jigidi. It's just what i do, i do everyone's jigidi's
Comment has been collapsed.
Now the trickiest part seems to be finding someone who still wants it, will have to try with the next victim. :P

Revealing to be a cheater on these and for nothing :)

Finally done with this and we have a new winner: Itarill :)

I got scammed into buying a non-Steam version of a game so now I'll have to circulate the mishap with another fun and easy Jigidi puzzle. Since I can't make a GTA for it here, it was put into a bucket.
Disclaimer: Free bucket is from IKEA so you need to assemble it yourself from 420 parts
If you want to be sure about what you get and on Steam, there's still something left.
I guess I've had enough fun with evil speed puzzles, next evil event might be something like exact number of neps if people want to start preparing.
