Thinking is to the brain as exercise is to the body!
I have a rather confusing fascination with the way we humans think. I like to learn and I find I have a compulsion to try and figure out why things are what they are and why we think the way we do. This tends to incorporate logic puzzles and different ways of looking at the obvious, hence these logic and lateral puzzles.There are about 250 puzzles here for you to try and figure out. Some are quite easy, others extremely difficult and the lateral puzzles will require you to think "outside the square". Many of them will have other answers apart from the ones provided. You may also find that some of the questions could fit in either the Logic or Lateral categories, but I've separated them as best as I can.
The main thing is to get your brain cells working and have a bit of fun. These puzzles are very good if you get a bunch of friends together and have a quiz night - you may be surprised at the fun you can have.
Logic Puzzles
These rely on your ability to think in a logical and clear minded way and the answers may not always be the first that you think of. Most of these are the sort of questions you may find in an IQ test.
Lateral Thinking
These are the ones that give you "brainburn". You are usually given minimal information and you have to deduce an answer from what little information you have. Most of the answers you will find are extremely simple (once you see them) and you'll wonder why you didn't think of it yourself, although some of the answers may seem somewhat absurd. These questions are mostly not meant to reflect real situations, but simply to make you think.
Anyway I hope you enjoy dusting off your brain and keep reloading the puzzle pages for a new random puzzle.
