September Puzzles

Our Puzzles for September 2013 have been posted.

  • There are the usual seven Picture Puzzles, each of which decodes to a word, phrase, song title, book, or film.
  • The “Mixed Bag” Questions have an added feature. After the usual ten questions, we’ve added twenty “next level” questions. These are, depending on your point of view, interesting, difficult, informative, quirky or totally unfair. A score of one out of twenty could be considered surprisingly good! The Picture Puzzles and Mixed Bag Questions have pride of place on our PUZZLES PAGE.
  • Our Skeptical Crossword is the second of three on the the theme of Logical Fallacies. It can be found HERE. Logical Fallacies Crossword (1) was posted back in July 2012 and can be found HEREWe expect Locial Fallacies Crossword (3) to follow next month.
  • The Logic & Maths Problems can be found HERE

Puzzles for September

This month we have a new set of Logic and Maths Puzzles, as well as our now-traditional Picture Puzzles, Mixed Bag Questions and Crossword.

Usually our crossword puzzles have a monthly theme about some aspect of Skeptical interest. The crossword for September 2012 is on a slightly different theme. Vic Skeptics provides free resources for the classroom at all age levels. This Crossword is an example. It’s called Measurement – Units and Quantities and is aimed at Senior Secondary Physics students. See how far you can get without having to google!

May Puzzles

This month, we have again snared the talent of guest cruciverbalist Roy Arnott. As a result, the May 2012 Skeptical Crossword comes in two versions: with standard clues and with cryptic clues. There’s an unusually large crop of Mixed Bag questions to mark Trivia month at Skeptics Café, and seven new Picture Puzzles. Click on the Puzzles tab at the top of the page.
