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!
