I noticed that even some people ranked as high as the top 20 were having difficulties with The logical challenges so i decided to take notes as I completed them and to offer these Notes to others to act as a kick start for their ideas. With out waffling to much ill begin

Logic 1 Title: Bags and Beads The first just had to be the hardest didn’t it? This challenge requires you to work out which of the 5 bags you are given has only 90g of weight in it, the other 4 will have 100g. The key problem I found is how to work round the limited use of the scales. After you place something on the scale it will get stuck so taking anything off or putting anything on will not be weighed. this means that the data gathered in your 1 and only reading must solve the problem for you. Remember there is nothing to say the beads cannot be removed from the bags or tagged / labeled. Remember I know I haven’t giving you much to go on here, to be honest the solution is a little complex for words, I you are really stuck PM me for help with this one and i will explain it in detail. Im simply no Aloud to post major spoilers to the masses : (

Logic 2 Title: The Stairs of Death so what is the situation? Three men all facing the same way all with hats on facing there inevitable deaths unless one of them gets some brains and fast. your looking for the hardest possible solution so man one cant see two red hats in front and start yelling unfortunately. Start by working out what each man can/could see, if it helps have a pen and some paper and make physical notes (i did).

logic 3 Title: Soccer Fans this is possible the most simple logic puzzle, but it does still require some work. start by drawing 1 - 30 on a paper or in notepad etc…now starting at 1 count 9 places and cross that number off, continue in this fashion until only 15 numbers are left, common sense and simple. ensure you miss out crossed out numbers when u go round for a second / third / forth time or you will get screwed results.

Logic 4 Title: Parallelogram for this challenge we need to know some basic proparties of a Parallelogram, theres one important detail reguarding the diagonals that will be of use in this challenge.

First we need to work out which corner everyone should start on. The only rule for this might seem obvious but i will mention it anyway because it caught me out on my first attempt ' All distances MUST be positive' in other words the person on the top right must equal the person on the bottom left (refer to rule 1) from here its simple algebra to work out the rest.

logic 5 Title: 3 Fuses in this challenge you will need to have a basic understanding of fuses and how they work. try google searching a little, possible the best site is wikipedia. The fact that were dealing with LIGHTS is important. What would be different between a fuses that trips lights and a fuse that trips industrial machines?

logic 6 title: Space Rock so…..any one who paid attention in school MUST have come across this concept in at least one subject. Thinking of the last 4 years iv had at secondary school i can think of 3 subjects that have taught me this lesson. history, maths and science (physics). go to google and search "Archimedes" his 2000 year old ideas are the bases of this challenge

well that’s in from me for now, at the moment I am still pondering logic 4 but you can guarantee that as soon as i have the solution I will update this article feel free to PM me if you need any further help.
