Anyone have a favorite or least favorite type of puzzle?

[ronasid]

My least favorite is definitely the gold/silver/bronze and the ones about GPS coordinates. Also a pet peeve is puzzles where the increments are in 7s (the windmill puzzles come to mind)

Favorites are easy 1 unit increments and the variables have reasonable names (not Azpilleta or Walderama or Xoxic, etc.)

About zip-lines! I really hate them even more than puzzles about GPS coordinates.

GPS coordinates, I hate them, no doubt!

+1

Also, I hate the juggling one just because it annoys me when people confuse juggling clubs with bowling pins.



Of course, I understand how this is a personal pet peeve, and most people don't really care.

The Mammoths, I start confusing myself with the ages and then afterwards wonder why I got confused

Agree with the GPS comments.

I just hope no one produces a puzzle with mammoths and the co-ordinates where they found

Ooh I don't like those either

I don't think of a 4x5 logic puzzle with GPS coordinates to be a different type than a 4x5 about juggling. That's just labelling. Yet, I agree that logic puzzles with just a bunch of meaningless numbers are really painful.

The type of puzzles I truly dislike are non-interlocking jigsaw puzzles.

I totally won't do those insurance company ones -- all that pain and suffering, broken hips, arthritis, etc. Funny, but I don't mind doing the drug company one's with all the diabetes, dengue fever, etc.... hahahaha ;-)
