UK Puzzle Association

Please at least read the introduction before posting anything here!
Although we have interests in various matters, we are very much NOT a quiz club.

The UK team is all home now after a frantic, but very enjoyable week in Senec, where the Slovakians put on a very good week of puzzles and entertainment. The winners were: WSC overall: 1st, Tiit Vunk (EST); 2nd, Jakub Ondroušek (CZE); 3rd, Kota Morinishi (JPN). Czech Republic also took the team titl...

Welcome. I'm sure you will find plenty to amuse and challenge you here.
Suggest you go to the competitions pages or forum area, and try some old contests in your own time.

Given only the first piece of information, the options (a<=b<=c) are: 1,3,12 -> 16 1,6,6 -> 13 2,2,9 -> 13 2,3,6 -> 11 3,3,4 -> 10 The guest will obviously know the house number, so not knowing the answer at this stage tells us it must be 13. The second clue tells us that of the 2 options, it is th...

Thanks for posting here Prasanna.
I think more people would participate in the usually wonderful LMI tests if they got a mention here.

As frequently stated elsewhere, we are not a jigsaw fan site.

Puzzler call it 'Kriss Kross', but I know these as 'Word Fit' puzzles. (Just my opinion)

Hi, and welcome! There are numerous puzzle contests regularly published on puzzle sites, such as this. Nearly all are archived and still available to download and solve non-competitively. This offers a vast resource for practice material. The Competitions and Links sections of this forum should prov...

Let's not ignore Hideaki. This was a 'harder than usual' championship, but Hideaki Jo finished all 29 puzzles with time to spare. Outstanding achievement.

Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game

I'd suggest 'narrow cave' from those choices. 'Tunnels' might be a better choice, if that's not used by some other type?

Yes, 16-20 October for WSC, 18-23 for WPC. http://slovakia2016.org/

Noticed that the "Time until contest starts" is different in http://www.ukpuzzles.org/contests.php?contestid=39 than in http://www.ukpuzzles.org/answers.php?contestid=39 I believe the latter is the correct one, or? The times are local times UK. The "GMT" reference on answers.php should in fact say ...

Neil Zussman won the annual 24Hr puzzle championship in Hungary this year.

Not an event for the weak-hearted - It is a highly competitive 24hr puzzle solving marathon.
Well done Neil!

hehe - I got it ok
That's how I know there is another x ~ y correlation that wasn't used in the puzzle, that could have been.

That was fun. When I went to enter my answers, the deadline had passed - perhaps for the best! Thanks Riad (if you read this) - wonderful puzzles!! Congrats to James on top equal. Also to David, who assuredly would have been top equal had he read the instructions of an optimiser correctly! I particu...
