So you can hear the notices being read out.

Can I go to the toilet during the comp?

Yes, you can go anytime without anyone being able to take your place during your absence.

Is it possible to bring pets?

Restless questions.

In the competition area, and this is an area where there's like hundreds of tables laid out of people concentrating on making these puzzles.

In the competition area, it is not possible to be accompanied by any type of pet.

Just love these questions that are coming through.

Which I really love.

So for this episode, a couple of weeks ago, or it will be about a month ago now, we talked to Karen Cabot.

She is Karen Puzzles on Instagram.

She's got a big following there.

And she sort of brings you into the world of what competitive puzzling is.

and so i've been watching her videos for a long time because she's been competing for a number of years and as we talked to her she was about to head off to the nationals in atlanta so she's prepping for that do you find watching puzzle videos therapeutic i like it i like watching i have this weird thing where i like watching people play video games and i like watching people like do puzzles but i don't want to play the video games and i don't want to do the puzzle

They ramp through it.

By her Instagram, she'll speed it up.

But there's something just very satisfying about seeing those pieces being put into place.

When I'm doing a puzzle, I just feel frustrated that I'm not doing it quickly.

I'm wondering now why I don't get that from a puzzle.

Because I get it from Lego, like building a Lego model.
