Home# We recommend:#Puzzle Contestso

# Bricks# Kadon is sponsoring a puzzle contest on the Germany-based Bricks website, a vast collection of sliding block puzzles you can download (it arrives "zipped") to play. The contest challenge changes every month or so. Andreas Rottler is in charge. The program runs under MSDOS and you can start it from Windows (Windows 3.1 as well as Windows 98). Best performance is on Pentium I computers or above. Reportedly it also runs on old 386 and 486 computers—a little bit slow, but everything works. In addition you need a mouse, a graphic card and a color monitor. Sorry, there are no Mac, Unix or Linux versions. Winners receive selected Kadon gamepuzzles as prizes. Visit the Bricks site to see the current contest and deadline for entries.

Puzzle U.# Check out Puzzle University website's weekly puzzle contest. It's a happy, cheery site with plenty of interesting ideas and online puzzles, with winners' lists and chat rooms. It's the brainchild of Dr. Amy Galitzer, who has been nurturing these brainteasers for years.

Pentomino contests# Pentomino Competitions
A classroom teacher, Odette De Meulemeester, and her students at the school, T.I.D. Ronse (Belgium), have created a delightful website with diverse pentomino competitions that attract an international audience of pentomino lovers. (Select your preferred language.) The first challenge was a "fence" enclosing the largest possible area (top score was 128). The second competition was the largest enclosed area (maximum, 175) on a cube. See a sample at left. Their "Records" page has names of top solvers. Visit to see the current theme and deadline dates, and have fun trying your hand at these elegant challenges.
