I love puzzles! I can't remember what is the first puzzle I've been addicted to years ago (maybe, jigsaw). Of all the puzzles I encountered so far, my all-time favorite is the Rubik's cube. I have also a collection of Sudoku puzzle books. None of them have answers since i bought all of them 4 years ago haha. I have also some pieces of Tangram puzzle in which I used to play before blind-folded. What about you? What puzzle you've been hooked up before (as well presently)?

I like puzzles too the ones that involve a bit of thinking - like 10 crows were perched on a tree. The gunman shot two - how many remained.

I like jigsaw puzzles. I still build some nowadays, together with my children, as they like jigsaw puzzles as well. I recently just completed one 1000 pieces together with my son. It's the most number of pieces he has built, of course together with me. He usually plays with those 100-piece puzzles on his own. I used to get addicted to sudoku for some time, not anymore now. I am not good at Rubik's cube at all. I have never play Tangram puzzle, and I didn't know about it until recently. I read that it's invented in China, but as a Chinese, I have never play or heard about it at all which I think is quite strange. I am planning to make the Tangram puzzle using felt and let my children play with it.

@trivia79 1000-piece is the most I did. My son has a few 100-piece puzzles and he always does it on his own. I have played Rubik's cube when I was young, perhaps I am just not good in that kind of puzzle, not so interested too. I learned about Tangram puzzle before reading your discussion. So, you played with felt Tangram puzzle? Yes, there are really a lot of things I don't know, and there are much more for me to learn.

I haven't tried to complete a 100 nor 1000 pieces of jigsaw puzzles. Just 30 pieces I think haha "I used to get addicted to sudoku for some time, not anymore now. I am not good at Rubik's cube at all." Have you tried playing with Rubik's cube? "I have never play Tangram puzzle, and I didn't know about it until recently. I read that it's invented in China, but as a Chinese, I have never play or heard about it at all which I think is quite strange." So you did a quick research haha. It seems that there are lot of things you don't know in your nativity "I am planning to make the Tangram puzzle using felt and let my children play with it." Really?! Like what i did? That's awesome!

I like jigsaw puzzles too. I have some jigsaw puzzles that I can put togehter, but I just haven't taken the time to do so. I also like word search puzzles, as I have books of those, and also I have soduko puzzzle books as well as crowsswords. I haven't started any of them yet, but I will in time. I just haven't taken the time to do so as of yet. I find being in here is much more fun that doing any old puzzle anyway.

@trivia79 At one time I had a subscripton, but when ti was up, I didn't renew, as I have enough, and it will take me a very long time to do them. I just haven't taken the time to do any of them as I feel that my time can best be spent in here or the other sites I do. I do have a puzzle book in my car, so when I have to wait for my dogs to get groomed, I will post in here, and do my puzzle book.

OMG! I thought it was an aerobic cube. LOL. Now I know it is a Rubik cube. Wow, I tried many times to organize the colors together, but it took a month before I arranged it. lol. It's a good brain exercise! The last time I played this stuff was on high school days.

I love jigsaw puzzles, Adam, but I rarely have time to sit down with one anymore. I don't like the Rubik's Cube at all! LOL! I finally got so frustrated with the one some friends bought me for my birthday one year that I peeled the colored squares off and cheated! Then I threw the thing in the trash! LOL! I consider solitaire to be a puzzle game, too. You are working with numbers and averages/chance. I like beating the different solitaire games!

@trivia79 I don't watch YouTube normally... I never even thought about watching it to see how to solve a Rubik's Cube... Probably because that first one, given to me by friends, was for my 18th birthday in 1981! LOL! YouTube wasn't even a concept in anyone's mind in 1981! LOL! I have solitaire on my smart phone. The app I paid for has 250 different solitaire games in it. I can play... and win (at least part of the time) 40 of those. I am still learning how some of them are played. Four of them I have a 99% win rate for this app! (I LOVE solitaire!)

In fact, every card game...i don't know how to play hehe i only know the memory game in cards in which i have to flip one card among the backfaced card and choose another card for possible match.
