    5 May 2024
    Aly Krasny is one of the cofounders of the USA Jigsaw Puzzle Association And a member of the titanic team known as the Golden State Puzzlers. We talked about how a local puzzling competition got started in her house, how the USAJPA got started, and her experiences as part of the USA Nationals competitions. Fair warning though, about halfway through the conversation we dive deep into her efforts to speed run a puzzle and the lessons she learned along the way. Prepare to get nerdy!
