Puzzle fans from 70 countries compete in the World Championship held in Valladolid, Spain, racing to solve a jigsaw-style puzzle they cannot see in advance. Participants attempt to complete the challenge within the competition’s time limits, with performance determined by speed.
Multiple outlets report that the event draws a large international field and follows the same format of an “unseen” puzzle. Euronews and Yahoo Sports both say a Dutch biology student wins the final, though they do not provide further identifying details or the margin of victory. The coverage focuses on the race element and the difficulty of solving without viewing the full picture ahead of time.
