Excellent so far. Thanks Tawan!

I think everybody on here will enjoy the Billiard Room puzzle. https://roygbivpuzzles.wordpress.com/billiard-room/

Hey, it's sudoku, and even *I* loved it!

Welcome Matt! [edit: no pun intended!]

Always good to see new faces at the Opens.

As you now know, there are plenty of current and past competitions to sink your teeth into.
Tip: Don't let language be a barrier, as some excellent competitions are not in English.

On behalf of all the competitors at the Open... We are extremely grateful to all the puzzle compilers for their wonderful contributions. We'd also like to thank David for the puzzle and sudoku team rounds, and Saturday evening quiz night. All were very enjoyable indeed. The biggest thanks though goe...

Reminder.

Only a few hours left to compete in round 2 of the puzzle GP... http://gp.worldpuzzle.org/

You're welcome.

Mind you don't lose that ball & chain now!

Looks fun!

Perhaps search for chain in ladders ring puzzle

But then I found this

I agree too. If I was a beginner, and only did the C contest, I'd be giving in right away. A) It was too hard, period. A seasoned puzzler, regardless of level, should have been able to finish with time to spare. B) Only 4 of my 10 submitted answers were correct! Regardless of silly mistakes, in no w...

... that's still 100 in front of me

I make 608 - 425 = 183, not 100. Maybe this is why I beat you?

Thanks Steve. I'm firmly in class C (to start with) then... Pretty sure each of the class contests are 60 minutes *each*: The participant chooses a Division, and has 60 minutes to submit the correct answers to as many puzzles as they can. They may then choose to attempt the puzzles for as many other...

Thanks for posting this Chris. I hope a few regulars from here can make it along. Sounds fun, regardless.

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.

The 2016 UK Puzzle Championship is over, and the results have been published: Official results . Congratulations to Neil Zussman on becoming UK Puzzle Champion. Also to James McGowan and Tom Collyer for taking 2nd and 3rd places respectively. Combining with the UK Open Puzzle Tournament results, the...
