A SOLIHULL couple scooped a top spot in speed puzzling.
Graham and Jodie Parker claimed silver in the Cardiff Speed Puzzle Championship organised by the United Kingdom Jigsaw Puzzle Association.
The duo joined teammates Aaron Madeley and Ruby Lavender to form Team Puzzle Guzzle.
Competing in the Teams category at the event, they managed to complete a 1000-piece Ravensburger puzzle in just 53 minutes and 11 seconds – pipped at the post for the first spot by less than three minutes.
The event was the first of its kind to be held in Wales and brought together over 300 keen puzzlers.
While jigsaws have long been thought of as a largely solitary activity, today more and more fans are taking to the pastime competitively – with speed puzzle contests taking place all over the globe.
