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 HERE. We expect Locial Fallacies Crossword (3) to follow next month.
  • The Logic & Maths Problems can be found HERE
