What are your happiest memories associated with TPM?

[Magmar]

Monstrous first thread? Remind me. Definitely some fun times. I get my logic fix from Sporcle's grid 'logic puzzles' lately. You should check them out Gabi!

I love Sporcle! I'm kind of addicted to it... especially the logic tab! (Sorry for the crappy screencap but that's just how TPM has always been.) They have some fun logic quizzes that are very different, like the geography minesweeper ones and the Mastermind challenges. I have over 300 Sporcle badges hahah

Heh. I was referring to those where you get a 5x5 (or 6x6 or bigger) and each one has a number (or a "unit" like Pokemon, HP characters, sports teams, countries etc.) and you get clues as you go to figure out what goes in each box. Like "row x is all prime numbers" or "all numbers divisible by 3 are adjacent to another" and such. Often the ones with things other than numbers require knowledge of something.

You should try some of the ones made by SenatorGronk, Henry820, or d_o, those are particularly phenomenal. Or for a more insane challenge, geogeorge or ButlerAndrew. The latter's are particularly devious, one of them involved the numbers up to 300 that I remember spending a week on.

Hi Zak,
Yes, the "Nimble Numbers" series and the Letters Logic puzzles are by far the trickiest! If you like Harry Potter, @lizbsn does great work there.

For a straightforward, moderately challenging Pokemon logic puzzle, this one is a good starter: https://www.sporcle.com/games/Chanse...n-logic-puzzle

But generally I love all the logic puzzles on Sporcle. Well, other than the influx of K-Pop-related ones! I don't care who your bias is LOL

I remember that one. Have you checked out the one by ObnoxiousMartian? Probably the most brilliantly done Pokemon one (though I believe it only goes up to Gen 6. Well... actually Gen 5, but I remember the logic in it still works even if you take Gen 6 into account. Haven't tested it yet with Gen 7).

And yes the Nimble Numbers/Lively Letters are fun... but the ones by d_o, geogeorge, and ButlerAndrew put them to shame in terms of difficulty. Definitely give those a shot. It's always exciting when I get an email that either of them made a new one after half a year.
