Jigsaw World Records

Hiyan Arya, an 8-year-old from Vestec in the Czech Republic, completed a 300-piece Trefl Spider-Man jigsaw puzzle in 42 minutes and 52 seconds. A phone stopwatch is started on camera beside the closed box; Hiyan then opens it, tips the pieces onto a puzzle mat on the floor and builds the picture on his own, Spider-Man's red suit first. The stopwatch stays in view beside the mat for the whole unbroken video and reads 42:52 as the last piece goes in. Then come the victory arms.

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, assembled a 51-piece magnetic world map puzzle on a bedspread in 2:07.90. The pieces start scattered around the empty base board next to a phone stopwatch; Yanhao starts the watch, fits the continents and oceans into the frame country by country, then taps the stopwatch once the last piece is in. RecordSetter read the stopped time of 02:07.90 in the close-up at the end of the video, followed by the finished map. Geography class, at speed.
