Trigon puzzles have been around for many years and have featured in The Daily Telegraph, Dellmagazines and many well known Puzzle mags. Now we have brought them to the web. Enjoy – it’s probably the best logic puzzle in the world.
It is impossible to solve a Trigon puzzle without concentration. Since this game requires logical thinking, an interruption can break the chain of thought and force the player to restart their analysis.
The need to engage in logical thinking to fill the grid correctly plus the process of trial and error they must apply will naturally and unconsciously help to develop their problem-solving skills.
As far as the benefits of Trigon go, improved thinking skill is likely one of the first players experience. In the initial stages, solving a puzzle can be a chaotic process and you are likely to jump randomly.
The Professor was playing in the bath one day long ago, when he had a Eureka moment and invented Trigon puzzles. He was so excited as the construction of Trigon puzzles arrived fully formed into his brain, that he accidentally sank his submarine.
Developing the shapes for Trigon, he realised that he needed somebody to market and sell them. He contacted an old friend and hustler who he thought would be ideal for spreading the word to puzzle enthusiasts. Indeed the word was spread – to Puzzle magazines in England. Then it appeared every day in the (London) Daily Telegraph – a serious broadsheet newspaper with a circulation of one Million. Then it was taken up by Dellmagazines, the biggest publishers of puzzle magazines in America.
However it was only when the Sudoku phenomenon spread round the world that our gallant duo realised that they should put Trigon puzzles onto the Net. So they got in touch with the Guru – the man who had all the technical and computer knowledge they needed.
Is it as good as Sudoku? We think so but it does come down to personal preference. Try an E-book of Trigons and judge for yourself and if you have anything to say, please go to our message board and tell us. The one great thing about Sudoku from our point of view is that the success of Sudoku has widened and deepened the interest in logic puzzles through out the world.
A set of triangular dominoes is put together in various shapes and sizes. There is a number on each side of the triangle and a central number which is the sum of the side numbers.
Where two sides meet, THE NUMBER IS THE SAME. To save writing the number twice a gap is left in the sides.
The problem is that you are only presented with the central number and you have to use logic to determine the side numbers.
