Favourite Puzzle
This forum hadn't been used for a while, so I thought I would start a new thread.
What's everybody's favourite puzzle on this site? Mine would probably be 'Yum, Arsenic'. |

Re: Favourite Puzzle
3 colors. What can I say I love everything about it. |

Re: Favourite Puzzle
I prefer 2 colors to 3 colors, but both are good. |

Re: Favourite Puzzle
Yeah, “3 colors” is a good one - it took me hours to figure out, and I enjoyed every minute of it. And for a pure math problem, my favorite is “Let it Snow”, which is amazing for all the variables you need to add yourself, which later cancel out, leaving a solution dependent only on the information given!
But my overall favorite has to be “Five Tenants”, since it’s the first and only true logic problem (using a grid for elimination) I ever wrote, and it turned out really well. I guess I’m grading it on a different scale, as an author rather than a solver ;) |

Re: Favourite Puzzle
Yeah, Bryan, it's hard not to be partial to your own problems..
I like problems that are simple in concept, but perhaps long or complex to solve, such as Multiple Choice Quiz or A Locked Safe (although levik still has not posted a solution to that one). Measure that Angle was another good problem. |

Re: Favourite Puzzle
I tend to work the other way - I always think that my problems are absolutely horrible and are always going to get TD'd (although that is sometimes the case). |

Re: Favourite Puzzle
Now I understand 3 colors, and I agree that it's brilliant.
I also saw a new puzzle that I really like. 'A Queen's Decree' is a brilliant logic puzzle submitted by Levik. |

Re: Favourite Puzzle
I like the grid logic puzzles that we were talking about. I like A Queen's Decree and the other logic puzzles like that.
My favorite short puzzle is the "I don't know it... I knew you didn't" one. :) |

Re: Favourite Puzzle
I wonder how many people looked for "I don't know it..I knew you didn't" in the search box... :p |

Re: Favorite Puzzle
Oh, right.. I remembered it but I couldn't find it, since that's not how it was worded. =P |
