🔎 Logic puzzles for kids: find the answer from the clues
In a logic puzzle every clue narrows down the options. It helps to tell apart a fact that was stated, a conclusion that follows from several clues, and a guess you still need to check.
"Before" does not always mean "next to"
If the red wire is before the blue one, there may be other wires between them. If they are next to each other, there is nothing in between. The wire puzzles use this difference to find out which wire sits in a given place in the secret order.
Test a guess against every clue
A solution that fits one clue may break another. You can assume for a moment that a certain character hid the star, then count how many statements become true. Only the option that gives the right number of truth-tellers fits.
Codes and scales: two ways to narrow things down
In code puzzles, separate a digit in the right place from a digit in the wrong place. On a balance scale, separate equal groups from the group with the heavy ball. These worlds are in Brain IQ, next to other deduction puzzles.
Questions and answers
Do I have to guess which wire to cut?
No. Every puzzle has exactly one answer to the question asked, checked against every possible order.
Do I need to know the whole order of the wires?
Not always. It is enough to work out who is in the place you are asked about. Several full orders may fit, but they all point to the same wire.
