Guest Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hi all, what type of puzzle is Einstein's Quiz considered to be? I solved it in under an hour and I NEED more. This is great brain fodder. Please someone, tell me what sort of puzzles these are. Where can I get more? Thanks in advance. VirtueO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bonanova Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 One source is puzzle magazines. Some magazines specialize and have puzzles of only this type. More often, they're one type in a mixture of types and are usually called Logic Puzzles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I think the fun aspect of Einstein's puzzle (BTW thanks for mentioning that VirtueO, not seen it before and it was fun!) is that there were 6 variables (position, colour, drink, smoke, nationality, pet). That makes the classic logic problem grid format a little impractical, still possible but maybe inefficient. I always used to do those logic puzzles as a kid but I found them a bit formulaic after a while. With this one I did it without using a grid, I think that makes it a lot more fun, you have to find some other way of getting a handle on it. Is that what the appeal of the Einstein puzzle is to you? If so, check out the H&S Delegation link in my signature. Not as good as Einstein but it might tickle your fancy anyway. I always meant to improve on it but never got around to it, maybe I will soon. The whole point is to defy any systematic grid-based approach (whether it actually does, I don't know) I'm sure Brainden has spewed up a few similar things over the years, I for one would welcome links to the better ones.
