Good puzzles to grind your logic skills to a fine point

Most logical puzzles are developed using a very old formula. However, that does not diminish their appeal. Logical deduction is a skill that should be used more in the world, as many errors would be prevented if more people would simply consider a few more of the circumstances before acting. These puzzles will certainly help you hone those skills to a finer edge. The level of difficulty starts at a pretty low level, with some of the problems being solvable by a short inspection. However, that changes towards the end and I found myself really scratching my head trying to find a loophole through the instructions that could lead to a solution. Hints to the problems are given at the bottom of the page and they are inverted to prevent an easy peek. Complete solutions to all problems are given at the end of the book. I found this a good book of problems to challenge me into thinking about the possible values and what the possible consequences of the parameters of the problem could mean. I recommend it to anyone interested in problems in logical deduction.
