A whistle-stop tour of puzzles over a 4000 year period, from mazes to Rubik cubes; metal puzzles to wood and string, and more! Each table gets a box of puzzles to investigate as the talk progresses. I can (almost) guarantee there will be some puzzles unknown to the audience. Includes puzzle myths and legends and some surprising personalities...
Best suited for no more than 40 people, the talk lasts approximately 45 minutes.

In 1966 there was an episode of Dr Who with William Hartnell. This featured a puzzle which I persuaded my father to make for me, and since then I have amassed a wide range of puzzles. A few years ago my wife, who was president of our local W.i. at the time, suggested I give a talk about them. If you are looking for something a little different then you have come to the right place!
** Update **. The selection of puzzles has been updated, with new ones added this year!
