Welcome to my world of logic puzzles.
This site is dedicated to the World Puzzle
Championship (WPC). This annual event was held for the first time in 1992 in New York, and has celebrated its 11th edition
last year in Oulu (Finland).
I have been a competitor in these championships twice
and with some good results too (10th (1999) and 6th (2001) in the
individual
event and 2nd (1999) and 4th (2001) in the team competition). Since my
first
appearance in 1999, I am addicted to these kind of puzzles.
Since then I have tried to make some logic puzzles
myself. Some will feature on this site, but most of them feature in Netherlands'
best logic puzzle magazines, "Breinbrekers" and "Logimix"
(issued by Puzzelsport).
What can you expect on this site?
On this site you can find more information on the
World Puzzle Championship. Also there are a lot of test puzzles for
your
enjoyment. E-mail addresses of a lot of (past) competitors are
available and,
of course, there are many links to other logic puzzle related sites.
New puzzles, from my hand, will be added frequently.
Also when I have new information concerning the WPC you will be the
second to
know.
If there are any questions do not hesitate to ask them.
