Canadian Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Lately I have become addicted to Sudoku puzzles and general ones found in the newspaper (quote in a box, wordsearch, octagon, crosswords, ect..). They are a lot of fun and have been proven to help keep your brain trained and thinking so that you can live longer. (cite: John Tesh Radio Show) Do you do any puzzles? What ones do you like? What do you like about them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 If i'm on the Train I whip out a Wordsreach Book. Can actually be a great alternative to Video Games at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelp' Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I did sudoku for a while when I played that Brain Age game. But then it got really repetitive, so I stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I used to do Skeleton crosswords, where you're given a blank grid and have to fill out the shaded empty squares as well as the actual answers. Those clueless crosswords where you have a number representing each letter and work it out like that are pretty challenging too. I only get newspapers for the puzzles and sports. Sad really, I should actually try to read the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cin Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Word Fit mainly, I did use to like Code Breakers, but found them too hard. Leave them for my mum to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKPLANT RISING Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I suck at Sudoku but I do it once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Not sure if you consider this a puzzle, but ever since I've found my old Rubik's Cube, I've been trying to get my time down to what it used to me. I'm averaging eighty seconds or so at the moment, but I know I've done faster before. It's a repetitive puzzle, sure, but so addicting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ash Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 [quote name='Bahamut ZERO' timestamp='1300636631' post='5085121'] I only get newspapers for the puzzles and sports. [/quote] Same here. I normally solve the Sudoku and then other bits and pieces I can be bothered to apply myself too. By that I mean the easy puzzles. Sometimes try the Cryptic crossword before my parents get to it.
