Wow, those puzzles seem pretty tough. But maybe I'm just not thinking straight because I was up late last night :P . I'll figure out the dots one with breakfast. The M puzzle also looks intruiguing. See everyone tommorow!

I like the 9 dot puzzle because it makes you think outside the box, (hint. hint nudge nudge)

I looked at all the puzzles and they are hard. My favourite is still the 9 dots one though.

Am I missing something with the rosebush puzzles? To me they look impossible. Take the third one, for example. It requires 45 rosebushes (9*5) but you only have 19. Can anybody explain that?

Never mind my question. I checked the answer on the link and the rosebush puzzle is possible, just near-impossible to figure out.

Wow, I love doing these. I showed my Mom how to do a few and she really enjoyed them to. I think my favourite is still the 9 dots.

See you all tomorrow!

I'm gonna go for the rosebush puzzle. Looks good, but tough. The questions help a lot though. Good luck everyone.

i showed the nine dots puzzle to my math teacher, and he took a whole period to figure it out! We made a deal that if he could figure it out we would do math, but if he couldn't, then we didn't have to do any work. By the t5ime he figured it out class was over anyway!!:)

Ooh, maybe I should make THAT deal with my math teacher. (Except we have a student teeacher now, and I don't want to make him look bad. Maybe when he's gone, I'll give the puzzle to my original math teacher.)
