Logic puzzles require the solver to deduce the relationships between different people, places and things based on a limited number of clues given in the puzzle. In real life, many specialists use logic and reasoning to solve puzzles or mysteries. 1. Four people are sitting around a square table, one on each side. From the information given, determine in which position each person is sitting. Write a convincing argument that shows why your solution must be the correct solution. Maria is sitting across from James. Tom is sitting to James’ left. Jess is not sitting in either the South or the West position. Maria is not sitting in either the North or South position. 2. Five people ran a race. From the information given, determine the order in which they finished. Write a convincing argument that proves your solution is correct. Eric finished two places behind Christina. Jenny lost to Anthony but beat Garrett. Christina did not come in first. Eric did not come in last. Mathematicians also spend a lot of time looking for patterns to discover relationships that appear to be true. They will then use logic to argue that the relationship is always true. 3. Odd and even integers. a. Write a list of odd integers. b. In words, what is the definition of an odd integer? c. What happens when you add two odd integers? Show many examples. d. In words, what is the definition of an even integer? e. What conjecture can you make about adding two odd integers? f. Do you believe your conjecture is always true? g. Write a convincing argument. Here are other types of logic puzzles. For each one, write convincing arguments that prove your solution is correct. 4. You must cut a birthday cake into exactly eight pieces, but you’re only allowed to make three straight cuts, and you can’t move pieces of the cake as you cut. How can you do it? 5. Nine dots are arranged in a three by three square. Connect each of the nine dots using only four straight lines and without lifting your pen from the paper. 6. You drive to the store at 20 mph and return by the same route at 30 mph. Discounting the time spend at the store, what was your average speed? 7. Logic Puzzle 1 a. Find the number of students on each step. b. Find which students are on which step. c. Explain how you did this in order. You may use pictures and diagrams in your explanations, but you must prove that your answers are the only ones that are possible. 14 Bay Students are sitting on a stoop with four steps. Step #1 was the lowest step and Step #4 was the highest step. None of the A-names sat on the same step Matthew is seated two steps above Alex. Danielle is below Sydney. No step had more than 4 students. Step #1 had more students than step #4. Arel is sitting between David and Thomas. Kealey is seated above Ian who is between Precious and Audrey. Precious is seated directly above Kait who is above Miles. Step #3 had the same amount of students as step #4. Sammy was wearing a green shirt.
