I’ve been enjoying Murdle, a puzzle book, this summer.
I originally got it for my father, from whom I inherited my love of Sudoku, and when he gave it a thumbs up I got a copy for myself. They’re short, little puzzles — in the beginning they only take a minute or two, and the more complex ones at the end can take 10-15 minutes.
What are the puzzles like, you may ask? They’re generally telling a (fairly lame) murder mystery, where there are multiple suspects, weapons, locations, and motives. Then you’re given a series of facts like, “whoever had the bloody knife also had blue eyes.” Later on, in addition to this, you’re given 3 truths and a lie — the liar is the murderer, but it takes a bit of deduction and elimination to figure out which is the lie. All in all, they kind of remind me of logic games from the LSAT, at least to the extent I remember those. (Apparently they just removed that section from the test!)
Anyway: I like the book, and I’m enjoying working my way through it — enough that I would pack it if we were going on a beach vacation. You can get the book for under $10 through Amazon and other booksellers.
Readers, what are your favorite puzzle books and logic games?
