Puzzle w01

 * Name: Trash Day (US) / Sweeping Up (UK)

Description: Put the trash in its proper place. Use the stylus to slide the blocks until you can move the trash into the can.


 * Hint 1: If you think about moving the red vertical bars as a set, you should do just fine.

Puzzle w02

 * Name: Moving Tiles (US) / Tile Equation (UK)

Description: Below is an addition equation with using tiles numbered zero to nine. There's just one little problem...the equation doesn't add up! Move the tiles to make the equation work. Only the solution involving the fewest number of moves will be accepted.


 * Hint 1: There are plenty of solutions if you were free to make lots of moves, but you need the answer involving the fewest moves. Also, only numbers in the two rightmost columns should move.

Puzzle w03

 * Name: Wrong Clocks

Description: The two clocks in the illustration below both point exactly to noon. One hour later, one clock points to 1:01 and the other points to 12:59. In other words, one clock is fast and the other is slow. Starting at noon, if these two clocks stay fast and slow at a constant ratio to one another, how many hours will it take until they both show the same time again?


 * Hint 1: The next time the clocks look the same, they won't be pointing at 12:00. Once you realize that, it's just a simple calculation problem.

Puzzle w04

 * Name: Cut and Splice

Description: Take a look at the piece of wood in the illustration. Can you cut along the grid lines and create two pieces that fit together to make a new piece of wood eight squares high by eight squares wide? While you can rotate the cut pieces, keep in mind that you can't turn them over to make them fit.


 * Hint 1: Those two squares that stick out on the far right are part of an edge of the finished piece.

Puzzle w05

 * Name: A Wall of Dice (US) / Stacked Dice (UK)

Description: Look at the dice stacked below. Though you can't see it, the faces that touch other dice all share the same number. If that's the case, which number should go on the question mark? All of these dice have the same layout of numbers.


 * Hint 1: It helps to know that opposite faces on a single die always add up to seven. Use that as the basis for your deduction.
