Anne Rogers...
in the UK there was a subscription only magazine called "Tough Puzzles", I
never had a subscription myself, but sometimes I got a sample one or one my
mum hadn't had time to do and I really enjoyed it, at other times there were
a couple of magazines that if I searched around I could buy and would have a
number of puzzles that I would find challenging enough.

There are a variety of puzzles in a magazine called "Games." I enjoy
it when I travel. Many are crosswords and other types of puzzles, so
it may not be what you are looking for.


At the newstand in the US, there seems to be quite a large selection of
puzzle books, but I've not yet spotted on with logic in the title and if I
do I would probably have the same issue as in the UK, where there were a
couple that it just wasn't worth buying as I'd enjoy only 1 or 2 puzzles. I
have bought one by Dell called "Math puzzles and logic problems", which I
enjoy, but the logic ones in there are mostly pretty easy and only in one
style, I enjoy the math ones too, but I'm really wanting to get hold of some
logic puzzles, but in a mixture of styles.

There are plenty of sites online which deal with Sudoku and other Japanese
puzzles and I do enjoy them, but it isn't quite satisfying my yearning!

Any leads would be appreciated!

Scroll down this web page to the section "Where Can I Find Logic
Problems?" - there's a list of magazines and a little review of each. I
don't know whether all these magazines are still being published, but
this might be a start.

You can also have your mom send you some.

Anne Rogers...
naturally, but she'd probably not sacrifice any of her copies, so I'd have
to take out a new subscription and it's not cheap, I think 70-80 USD,
postage for each issue would be around 2 USD, so there is almost certainly a
cheaper solution and potentially a more enjoyable one! Even though each
issue has a wide variety of puzzles there isn't that much long term variance
over what is in each issue, so you know you're always going to get 1 of
puzzle x and so on, I'd hoped that finding a new magazine would change that,
in an ideal world that would be with more of the ones I particularly like!

Penny Press is on the newstands as well as Dell, but they may be too
easy as well.

Here's an online logic puzzle page, but most of the links appear to
be broken :(

These may be too easy as they are classified in the juvenile
non-fiction, but who knows

There are some books that look promising. One called Challenging
Logic Puzzles and another called Mensa Logic Puzzles.
