Yeah, I'll admit it. I believe in monsters. I mean didn't before, but then I designed this monster of a Masyu, not for the faint of heart. Don't be lured in by her tempting easily start, because it just don't last!

A lightbulb idea?
Well, here's one that got me the other day...
This puzzle take place in two rooms. In the first room are three lightbulbs all connected to three switches in the other room. In this house a man is trying to figure out which switch activates which which bulb. Starting in the room with the switches I can tell you with certainty that this man can move from the switch room to the lightbulb room, not walk back in the switch room and still tell which switch activates which lightbulb, even with the constraint that the man has to move out of the doorway and into the lightbulb room to see the lightbulbs.
Your task is to tell me how.
Yeah it got me as well!

Diagonal Sudoku, a beauty
Who says Sudoku isn't art, well that may be true, and this may not be the hardest puzzle in existance but I like it, not least because of the layout, 12345678, 12345678 and a diagonal as well. Well perhaps it isn't art but it's still nice.
Easy as ABCDEFGHI... wait a sec ABCD yeah that's right
A-D
Well to hit this genre off here is a relatively easy Easy as ABC (or in this case ABCD). Not too taxing but look forward for more later!
Rules for Easy as ABC
Rules for Masyu are as follows,
Place exactly one of each letter from "A" through to the letter designated by the puzzle inclusive in each row and column. The rest of the row or column is left blank.
The letters outside the grid give the first non-blank entry found in that row or column and from that "viewpoint"
A-C
Dizzy Sudoku
Gosh I can tell you that designing this one made my eyes hurt, just one look and you can see why. I don't know what it is but there's still a pretty box in the middle, perhaps they're haunting me!
