It took me longer than 10 seconds but these are still my favorite ones! How would you feel about leaving all the word puzzles and replacing all the math ones with logic games? Just something to chew on…

Took me all of 10 seconds to get but it was 10 seconds of fun anyway. :)

I love the idea of daily puzzles, but the fact that most of these don’t take much longer than just reading them to solve kind of takes the fun out of it

Thanks, Amy, I appreciate that. Frankly, while I have “testers” who go over most of my other puzzles, I had a hard time finding anyone who enjoyed logic puzzles enough to test them.

And, as I’ve said many times since starting with mental_floss nearly six years ago, even though our goal is to help readers “feel smart again,” as often as not, we’re the ones who get the education!

With the full clues it’s a fun logic game. I haven’t had a chance to do one of those in a while. Thanks!

NOTE: My bad, folks. I left the final clue off of the puzzle while leaving it in the explanation. It’s fixed now.

My apologies; I’m fairly new to the coming-up-with-logic-games scenario. It was never my favorite puzzle type, but I’m learning!

Where do you get “We know that Ethel was sitting to the left of Lucy.” It doesn’t specify which directions anyone was sitting relative to another, just that certain people must be sitting next to each other.
