Playing card puzzles (1)


While waiting for my appointment with the dentist I thumbed through the magazines, looking for good puzzles. I had little hope of finding any more than a crossword or sudoku, but to my surprise I encountered a new format in the magazine plusonline. The magazine does have a website, as the name suggests, but I couldn’t find the puzzles there.

In all puzzles the problem is: which of the four cards at the bottom should replace the blue card?

Here are two puzzles in the same vein. I did make a small change: the original puzzle had rows of three cards, which I changed into cards rows of four cards.

New puzzles are published at least twice a month on Fridays. Solutions are published after one or more weeks. You are welcome to remark on the difficulty level of the puzzles, discuss alternate solutions, and so on. Puzzles are rated on a scale of 1 to 5 stars.

Be prepared for more puzzles of this type in a few weeks.
