I love logic puzzles. Today, I found two good ones linked on the Hacker News RSS feed. Check them out at Nick Yee's homepage. It didn't take me long to find a solution for the first one... I'm still working on the second.

Here's a series of cool puzzles, if you're a developer (or otherwise a [computer]geek): Toughest Developer Puzzle Ever. Despite its name, I personally didn't think it all that tough as only puzzles 25, 27 and the very last one gave me any trouble. The one is where it tells you that you've won... as you haven't quite. There's one puzzle left there, and it's a toughie.

I came across this geometry puzzle a while ago. Many people, even professional mathematicians seem to have problems with it, taking hours or days to solve it. Oddly enough, people with only basic knowledge of geometry seem to do a lot better, often a matter of minutes.
