Topic guide

How to approach math logic puzzles

Math logic puzzles combine numerical facts with constraints. Each clue removes possibilities until one value or arrangement satisfies every condition.

Record candidates systematically instead of guessing. A final solution is valid only when it can be checked against all clues, including negative clues such as “not odd.”

Learning objectives

  • Translate clues into constraints
  • Eliminate impossible choices
  • Justify a solution with all clues

Skills to review first

  • Basic number properties
  • Careful reading
  • Organizing possibilities
Worked example

Follow the reasoning step by step

I am greater than 20, less than 30, and a multiple of both 4 and 6. What am I?

  1. List multiples of 4 between 20 and 30: 24, 28.
  2. List multiples of 6 in the interval: 24.
  3. Find the common value.
  4. Check that 24 satisfies both bounds.

Solution: 24.
