Numbrix


The Sunday Parade magazine has a column called 'Ask Marilyn'. Marilyn Vos Savant has been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the person with the highest I Q as a child and as an adult for the past five years. She answers all kinds of questions in her column and posts puzzles regularly. 

This week she introduced a game called Numbrix, which is a numbers game of logic. As a math lover and puzzle solver, I checked all of them out right away. They are fun because they are not too difficult and they do make you think logically. A dying art as far as I'm concerned....

To give them a try, click here! Have fun!

Hey Inga, I have tried to view the puzzles and can't. Enabled Java like it said and still have blank grey blocks. Any advice?

Sorry Mark, no advice. How odd, it's a fun little challenge.

Thanks anyway, weird. I switched to the laptop and it worked. Go figure! I wish she would post more than one a day. Nice chatting.

Same here. If you know of other good games, please pass them on. Cheers!

Re the 'blank grey blocks', the magnification of the displayed screen may be too low to show all numbers. I tried 75% mag to show entire puzzle but had to go back to 100% mag since 3/4ths of numbers didn't show (on 75% mag).
