Puzzle championship is held in Israel
Updated 08.26 Mon Sep 01 2008
Jigsaw enthusiasts have gathered together for a puzzle championship in Israel for the competition's tenth year.
To get through the first round, participants had to put together a 300 piece jigsaw as quickly as they could - with the fastest managing to complete it within 30 minutes.
The final challenge involved a 2000 piece jigsaw that was completed in 7 hours and 20 minutes - the winners walked away with a trip to Turkey.
Event organiser Michael Six said people find doing puzzles very relaxing.
He said: "It's a time for together with the family, there is no pressure. Everyone can enjoy it, from the smallest in the family, to the oldest."
