Welcome to this fantastic collection of 50 brand-new logic puzzles. If you're new to this puzzle type, here is how they work: you are presented with a scenario, an empty grid, and a series of facts. You must use the information presented in the facts to work out connections and gradually solve the puzzle. The grid is used to record ticks and crosses to show what information is linked together, and also that which isn't. There are two key types of clues: those that tell you a connection between two details, and one that tells you that there is no connection. For instance, in the first puzzle in the book scenario tells you about five friends who all love sports. You must work out which sport they love, their occupation and their favourite snack. As you work your way through the facts you will need to ensure you derive as much information as you possibly can from them. For instance, if you know that A is linked to B, but also that B cannot be C, then you also know that A cannot be C. By carefully working through the deductions that can be made from the clues, you will be able to solve all the logic puzzles without guessing. And, of course, we've included all the solutions at the back of the book should you get stuck or need to check your answers. If you are new to logic puzzles, then we hope you will enjoy the puzzles and be able to solve them all successfully. If you are an experienced solver of this type of logical deduction puzzle, then the puzzles in this collection will probably be in the easy-medium difficulty range to solve. We hope you enjoy the puzzles and scenarios in this collection, good luck and happy solving!
