Today I'm sharing all kinds of puzzle statistics! What else do you think I should start keeping track of?
Very interesting video! I actually guessed 312 puzzles 😱
Irregular vs normal puzzle piece shapes? I literally cannot think of anything else!
All the previous puzzleing times in comparison (just of your filmed puzzles)
You could keep track of the weights of the puzzles and the sizes.
I just love Spreadsheets
Karen: "I have 380 puzzles."
Me: "Holy crap, that's a lot."
Karen: "That may not sound a lot."
And my husband thinks I have way too many puzzles (I have about thirty boxes) ;-)
I know! 😂 Stores that sell puzzles literally don't have this many puzzles!
I am SO HERE for a Karen x Cristine collab. I don't know how or what it would be, but I am here for it. There must be a way to mix puzzles and nail polish.
Holo taco puzzle designs?
They both have a strong emphasis on fingers?
vouch!!!!!
Wow I didnt think more people watched both lol. 😁
I would totally want an holo taco puzzle
I watch almost all of the channels on your "other channels your audience watches" list. So interesting that many of us have the same interests!
I know! I was so surprised! The only ones I don't regularly watch are nerdcrafter and simply, but I know of them and occasionally listen to simplys podcast. It is so weird to be in a bubble without knowing it. I thought my interests were diverse, math and sewing historically and cooking and sudoku don't instantly make connections with eachother
I was also surprised how many of those channels I also watched (10/15), but I guess it makes sense because the other channels were either puzzle/math channels or craft/maker channels. I can see how this channel would fit into that niche
I don't watch any of them!! LOL So funny!!
I know! I love Jackie (NerdECrafter) and Evan and Katelyn, so amazing.
Loved all the *Spreadsheets* statistics 📈 can’t wait to see the end of the year numbers
I like how my reaction to 318 puzzles in your collection was "wow, that's a lot" and yours was "you might think that's not a lot"
I was also surprised to not see any Vlogbrothers/Nerdfighteria youtube channels among the other popular channels, since that's where I found you from way back when and I was pretty confident we would still be a sizable chunk of audience.
Yup, same here!
I really would love to just hear the history about some puzzles or puzzle companies especially if the puzzle is too rare to actually find
Having discovered your wonderful channel recently, I took the plunge and ordered my first puzzle (The Coral Reef by Pomegranate). Karen, it arrived yesterday!! I'm about half way through as I type. So my stats are as follows ... I have one puzzle in my house which comprises circa 1000 pieces. I have yet to finish this puzzle but already know this will be the first of many!!
It's very interesting, especially the companies of the puzzle you own. They are completely diffrent from the ones we have in Europe (Poland to be precise). Apart from Ravensburger and Educa, I do not really know these companies. What we have are: Clementoni, Bluebird, Schimdt, Gibson, Jumbo, King, Trefl, Castorland.
Ravensburger and Gibson seem to be the ones I notice most in the UK, though I am not a big contemporary puzzle collector or buyer- my friend will do 500 piece ones of any age. I just like my childhood ones, I have some wooden ones where the boxes fell apart and the connector lugs long gone, and some were Winfield (Woolworths own brand - as birthday gifts), and I collected mainly Arrow Games Jigsaws - with a few that are the David Shepard Railway Art Painting ones , which are really nice. M
Don't forget Heye :)
@@ipuzzletoo true! I haven't tried them yet. And I forgot about Eurographics and their smart cuts.
@@RaijaAlatalo I am right now working on an Eurographics smart cut puzzle :) Previously I have finished a Heye puzzle (Simon's cat garden party) and it is so far my favorite. You can have a look at it on my yt if you are curious. What puzzle are you working on currently?
@@ipuzzletoo after a very challenging Van Gogh by Clementoni I needed something easy, colourful and "naive". That's why I started workig on " Coral reef" by Castorland :)
When it comes to Jigsaw Puzzle pieces and Karen Puzzles: “The limit does not exist.”
Hi Karen as one of your smaller demographic watchers (Australian and early 50’s) I think you are awesome.
I have gone from owning just 6 jigsaws to over 100 just recently though I have been subscribed for awhile I think it was when you were doing the big 24000 puzzle I was really hooked 😀
This was a very interesting video though I loved your room makeover and watching you do your puzzles (by the way seeing how you sort the pieces out first I realized I have been doing them wrong for 40 + years 😂)
It was nice to see the stats too
Thanks Karenpuzzles for turning me into a jigsaw nut 😍
I feel so exposed by the "other channels your audience also watches".. i watch almost all of those :O!
Nice spreadsheets, karen ;) i would be totally interested in the rarest puzzles video!
X 2
Not surprised at the KarenPuzzles/cracking the cryptic overlap xD
I need to do this for my puzzle collection! Mine are a majority of Ravensburger, Piecework, and Eeboo.
I need to create a spreadsheet about how much I love statistics and puzzles.
I can't wait until the end of this year to see that info 💜
I love when you share your puzzle stats! Thanks for all of the interesting info!
Thank you for this most nerdy and fun video. So great to have these overviews, statistics, and facts. I would indeed like to see a video about the hard-to-find puzzles too. I love the stories you bring us about the history and mysteries of the puzzling world.
Really amazing breakdown, I love watching your videos and they have helped me with my recent anxiety issues - You're an amazing person and I wish you all the great things in life !
I was shocked how close my guess for total pieces was. I guessed 300,000 since you had about 300 puzzles, and I guessed they averaged about 1000 pieces a puzzle. The spreadsheets really put everything into perspective! Also, I have never seen a video from any of those recommended channels (except maybe one or two from Cracking the Cryptic). I guess Karen is just special!
I guessed this way too, but overshot by about 40,000 pieces because I remembered she owned a 24,000 piece puzzle and a 9000 piece puzzle, so I added that in to my estimate.
I LOVE your channel and am so happy I found you. I just started watching last week. I've subscribed and "rang the bell" for notifications. I wish my job was doing puzzles. You've inspired me to track all my puzzles in 2022. I love your spreadsheet ideas and cannot wait to start collecting my own data for the year. I used to do puzzles in the past and haven't done them in awhile until my daughter gave me a beautiful, but difficult, puzzle as a gift, which sparked my current interest in puzzles. I even send my daughter daily updates on my puzzling progress. I LOVE your energy! Keep up the terrific work!!
Here’s an idea that may have already been said, but What if you did a puzzle with each piece flipped over so it’s just a blank image. The fun part about it would be to see what it would look like once it’s finished! You would (try) not to look at the finished image as best as possible to have the greater surprise.
such a fun video!!!!!!! more, please. it’s fascinating to learn more about our “puzzle family”. i’m really enjoying all these new aspects you are adding, now that you’re able to focus only on your puzzle channel.
I think you're my new favorite RUclipsr. Your enthusiasm for puzzles is so awesome. I'm not a puzzler, but I love my hobbies. And people with hobbies who love their hobbies are awesome 👍
This was fascinating. This was the video that made me subscribe. I love stats like these and often total these types of things for my various hobbies ( though I haven't used spreadsheets or graphs).
I turn 70 this summer and love your videos. I'm surprised more seniors watch. But then, I grew up with puzzles and books as standard household 'entertainment.' Love the spreadsheets too.
I found your channel just by chance by seeing your video about solving Simone’s missing piece solid white puzzle and I love your channel! Your videos are so amazing.
Yes!!! This was fascinating - Thank you for sharing all these stats, Karen. This video also made me realise that, *gasp*, I haven't clicked the bell icon! I'll be doing that immediately :D
Oh so that's why cracking the cryptic was recommended to me! 😂 I had no idea why a sudoku channel was suddenly in my recommended since a few months ago, but I can't complain, I love watching them 😊
Love having a new video to watch before going to work. I use spreadsheets too since I am a teacher.
Im getting excited, thank you Karen!😊🤩
Great video! I love Karen Puzzles stats.
Wow a new vid from my fav youtuber
I love your nerdy stats. Very interesting. I'm 49 years old and you are the only puzzle channel I subscribe to. I used to watch you while I worked out on some cardio equipment but joined Cyclebar so not able to watch there. Now I watch you while puzzling or cross stitching. I don't watch any of the other channels you showed. My other RUclips content consists of cross stitchers (Flosstube) and urban explorers. You are fun to watch. Keep thrownin' down those puzzles and stats!
i really really like the sound of a spreadsheet keeping track of the puzzles you do in a year and your rating on the and stuff :) i hope it goes well and becomes a fun little tradition for you
Hello!!
I'm a girl, aged 31 from Australia 😊😊 love your channel!! I absolutely love puzzles and it's so fun to watch a channel about them.
The spreadsheets are a really nice touch for the videos - thanks Katie!
I originally found out about your channel by watching someone named “Baylee Jae” and she was cleaning her art studio and mentioned Karen Puzzles and how that’s a channel she watches while she does other tasks, so I started watching too and now I’m obsessed!! I’ve been watching & subscribed for over a year and I’m so excited that this is your full time job and we get to see so much content!! Much love! 💕
I used to watch her channel all the time! That’s so cool that you found this channel from her video!
I love seeing the stats in your videos! More please! I recently created a spreadsheet to track the puzzles I've completed (and own but haven't completed yet) with a spot to mark if I kept them, passed them on or had borrowed them. It's a fun project but takes away from puzzling time 😆
Seeing your viewer statistics was so interesting! I was thrown for a loop by RUclips recommending me a puzzle channel, but I have watched a few of the other channels RUclips points to you sharing viewers with--going from Ann Reardon debunking TikTok and content farm food hacks to Bernadette Banner and Nerdforge projects to your channel is a much clearer recommendation path than I realized! Thanks for the fun and interesting videos as always 😊
This is great! I love all the spreadsheet effort and I love a nice pie chart. Some really cool stats you've shared with us! :)
I love the stats! Keep them coming!
I just recently found your channel and I never thought I’d enjoy watching a lady excitedly doing jigsaws (even though I watch Chris Ramsey) but this channel inspired me to literally go out and buy puzzles to do with my family lol.
I like watching the puzzle boxes and escape rooms from chris ramsey, but I also love watching this relaxing channel. I'm currently helping a family member recover from a kind of breakdown during covid, and we've been working on a jigsaw puzzle together. We did one of the escape puzzles that you showed on your channel.
As a fairly new subscriber I really enjoyed seeing this breakdown of your puzzles. Having watched so, so many of your videos recently, I feel like I have had the fast track version of the past few years and it has been really interesting (and enjoyable) to see both how you have changed in the puzzles you have/do but also how you have remained the same wonderful, natural person. BTW, being from the older demographic in Australia, I am not surprised so many of your viewers are outside the US 😃
I'm one of your nerdiest subscribers in the 55-64 years age group. Along with puzzles, I love spreadsheets too 😀 My collection isn't as impressive as yours's. I only have 106 puzzles and my largest are only 2000 pieces. I'm way behind you on puzzle completions for the year. I've done six with the 7th in progress. I loved all your statistics and your channel. Your positivity is infectious. One more spreadsheet statistic: all of my current puzzles if completed and laid next to each other would cover an area of 58,441.5 square inches.
Of the channels you listed I actively watch 6 of them guess I'm not the only one who likes diy projects, puzzles/magic, food science, soap making, nail painting/gaming and historical clothing.
Thanks for the spreadsheets. I enjoy your videos.
this type of video with all the stats an info is why I love this channel.
11:20 whoa because I'm a regular watcher of all of those RUclips channels and yours haha I love you and your channel so much 🧡🧩
I find it soooo interesting that you can see which other channels your viewers watch. Cause I indeed watch most of those channels too!! (Hi from Belgium btw) And spreadsheats are VERY interesting. I liked this video a lot :)
That was very interesting. I had no idea that you knew what other channels your viewers watch! 😙 I’m subscribed to four on that list: Bernadette Banner, Rachel Maksy, Baumgartner Restoration and Cracking the Cryptic. The spreadsheets your sister produces are works of art!
I don't watch any of the channels that your viewers watch. I'm honestly not sure how the algorithm recommended your channel but I'm glad it did!
35-44 year old Australian female here! It's actually eerie how many of those other videos I watched and how many of those other channels I am subscribed to, I suddenly feel very seen haha! Cracking the Cryptic and NerdECrafter represent!
Love a good spreadsheet 👏🏻 that was so interesting!!
7 of the "also watch list" are ones I watch. The spreadsheets of all the data were really interesting :) Love the channel!
I loved finding out about your collection it's very interesting, I love to try some of the puzzles you use and you don't have to worry about me buying vintage puzzles I have small children who help so I prefer to be able to replace my sets. I love seeing the vintage puzzles on your channel though.
I loved seeing these spreadsheets and other statistics!
Hi Karen. I really enjoyed this video along with all the others. I am 61 years young so way out of your age chart. I have completed 35 puzzles since January 2, 2022. I take pictures of my completed puzzles on my phone so I counted them. I really had no idea it was so many. I probably have 120 puzzles. Rarely do I buy new puzzles. I get them at goodwill and the like. I haven't done a very involved spreadsheet like you have. That would take away time from puzzling! I'm a subscriber and have been a very long time. If fact I think you got "Happy Puzzling from me. Any way keep up the good work Karen. Gotta go and start a puzzle! Happy Puzzling!!
I found this video very interesting! Excellent spreadsheet skills! Also I am interested to know what other obscure puzzles you are in search of. So lovely to see your video in the middle of the week BTW
I am in the rare demographic group of the over 65 oldsters. I am also subscribed to Stand-up Maths and Numberphile. Spreadsheet statistics are cool. Another statistic you could derive is number of minutes spent per thousand pieces, for those puzzles you timed.
Yay! Shoutout Rachel Maksy! I’ve followed the two of you forever 😊
Love this video. The stats are such a great part of this channel
Spreadsheet
the stats on the other channels that your viewers watch was SO INTERESTING! i didnt know that was logged for creators! i love the nerd-e-crafter overlap, their such a genuine creator. i also watch how to cook that, royalty soaps, simply not logical, and super rae dizzle. thank you for sharing the 'spreadsheet's!
420,000 cuz 42 is the answer to everything :)
And just for fun I counted my own "collection", abt 170,000 pieces in 94 puzzles (500 to 5000p), 64 of the are Ravensburger.
Seem I subscribe/watch 4 of those channels.
My guess was somewhere in the neighborhood of 400,000. I went back to your puzzle room organization video and counted as many boxes as I could see on shelves (got just over 340). I couldn't see all the piece counts on all the boxes but I figured just multiplying by a thousand (and adding in the 24,000 piece lol) would kind of average everything out. I didn't think you would not include the ones you plan to get rid of when you are done them, because they are on your shelf and still part of your collection, so I counted those too. I was on the right track though. I would LOVE a video about the rare puzzles on your SPREADSHEET. I love learning about rare things. So fascinating and mysterious!
I love that your sister Karen always does your statistics for you so that spreadsheets can be done ❤️
I loved that Video. Numbers never lie, nothing bad about a good spreadsheet 🤗 Planing on doing this with my collection too.
i am already subscribed to five of the top channels from your subscribers. Looked through the other channels and added two more. love the nerdy spreadsheet video!!
I found you through the standup maths video and I never thought i'd be so entertained by jigsaw puzzle videos but i am 😂 Planning on buying and doing some of my own soon
I'm a Data Architect so I love spreadsheets! Data analysis can be its own kind of puzzle.
Definitely surprised to not see any VlogBrothers related channels on your list, but still lots that I recognise or watch regularly
Cracking the cryptic, Chris Ramsay, Royalty Soaps, Simply not Logical, SuperRaeDizzle, Bernadette Banner, Numberphile
Also wow I'm am part of the 3% of your Aussie viewers! I've watched your videos since the crafting days and made the transition over to the puzzle videos ☺️
I would estimate a total of 38000 pieces!
I really enjoy your videos, although I do not puzzle myself, but seeing you enjoy your hobby is very satisfying. I also love your video editing, so relaxing and informative to watch. Keep on the good work Karen!
Thanks for sharing! I’d be interested to see statistics on solving time, and how it depends on the size and kind of puzzle.
Oh man I watch so many of those related channels lol. Cracking the cryptics sudoku puzzles are so relaxing to watch
This was a super fun vid! Out of the 15 channels I watch 5 so I’d say kinda spot on
Ohh La La. I’m excited for a Wednesday upload and some nerdy statistics! I love the data recaps in your videos.
You are right
i feel called out by the "other channels your viewers watch" stat XD
there are so many creators there that i love dearly, but wouldn't have expected to have the audience overlap they do. but it's super rad that they do, and it does make sense now that i think about it :)
it's so lovely to get to see/hear all of this info - i adore organizing data and categorizing things and having the numbers, and so it's very satisfying to get to have all those spreadsheets and stuff with the data all laid out.
I feel like you are my new bestie 😁
I start doing puzzle last year, but not as 'intense' as now and I'm also giving away the puzzles that I don't intent to keep.
But of course not as many as you have!
I found your channel from your 24k puzzle video 😁
I would love to see more of the vintage puzzles on your wishlist. I go to thrift stores often and sometimes find vintage puzzles, and I always wonder if they're ones you'd be interested in. I usually look them up and if there are any inexpensive copies listed on eBay, I assume they're not rare enough. But I'd hate to leave behind something you're looking for because I'd totally send it to you!
A lot of the puzzles I want are widely available on eBay and I just haven’t bought them yet. But if you find anything particularly rare, feel free to email me with photos!
I love the idea of a video of the rare mysterious puzzles out there!
Haven't watched any of the other videos listed and the only channel on the list that I watch is Baumgartner Restoration, HIGHLY recommended!
Spreadsheet!
But honestly, these stats were fascinating. ^^ Well done!
Oh snap! I'm subscribed to 3 of those other channels... I'll have to look into that math one... Love me some math... And spreadsheets. Those were great looking graphs!
Can not wait im back in on time to watch it
Cracking the cryptic was expected, but I didn't think there was an intersection with How to cook that. That channel is great!
I love your statistics videos so much!
I am from a country that was not listed on screen btw
How to cook that and numberphile!
The nerdiest of the RUclips🤣🤣
I've just made up an inventory of all the puzzles I own. It's a great way to keep track of what I have. I need to add up how many pieces I own all up
Love that Cracking the Cryptic was in the spreadsheet!
Loved this! My worst nightmare is someone dumping all my puzzles together, which is realistic with children in the house. I also have a list of puzzles organized by brand and title as well as a Google photo album in case the same image gets released by a different company. I should combine into a spreadsheet but my sisters aren't as skilled as yours. Puzzle nerds unite! 🧩❤️
It's scare how many of those channels I'm either subbed to or watch anywhere between seldomly and enough to have a clear idea of the internet persona behind the channel name.
And I really like that Cracking the Cryptic is on that list. Makes that puzzle with the sudokus on it fit in even better.
The math nerd in me squealed for joy (internally) while watching this video. ❤ Yay, spreadsheets!
HOW TO COOK THAT!!! Both you guys are my favorite channels! 😍
I'm amazed at at how many others YTers I also subscribe to. It's that niche creative club!
I loved all the spreadsheets in this video, so nerdy yet so fun and interesting to hear. i was gonna guess 300,000 but it felt like a low number. i watched at least one channel from the viewers watch list.
Mid fifties bell ringing subscriber here and I've been keeping track of stuff like this before spreadsheets existed!!!! How else could I keep track of what nail polish I wore when?!?! Or all the stationery I had? Remember, mid fifties! :) LOVE these stats!! I've always found stuff like that fascinating. I also appreciate all the work and effort you put in to upload quality videos. Looking forward to your next one. Also wish I lived closer just to be able to dig thru that box of donations......
You need a spreadsheet to keep track of your puzzles and you say that might "not be a lot"... Great (polished) collection, keep it up and enjoy! Regards from Uruguay.
Hello! From Costa Rica 🇨🇷🇨🇷 . I love your channel . Got amazing ideas, And got some puzzles thanks to your channel. Recently I have been doing several puzzles from the magic puzzle company I would love you to do one of those.
2:50 made me laugh out loud! I have the same irrational fear that a bomb will go off in my room and my puzzle pieces will fly all over the place, LOL
Here in CA, an earthquake is probably the most realistic fear haha
Karen your so dope! Thanks for sharing 😊 keep up the excellent work! - from Baltimore, MD
Just rewatched this video again since I wanted to see some data behind my puzzle collection too! I have a total of 140 puzzles including a few that I purchased that are on the way. Total number of pieces is 109,737!
Maybe another interesting statistic could be puzzle shape? (Square, rectangular, round, irregular/shaped, octagon)
Or puzzle date ranges? Seeing the number of vintage vs. new puzzles?
