Set+Puzzle+Game

 I was introduced to this game by my math professor. The game is called set and the electronic version look like the picture above. There are twelve cards each slightly different in color, shape, fill and number. Some cards may be red, green or purple. They can be shaped as dimonds, squiggles or ovals. Finally the fill can be hallow, solid or stripped. This is a game to play against yourself. The computer version times how long it takes you to create a set. A set is three cards that all share the same characteristic or are all different from each other in a way. In a set there may not be a pair or two that match and one that is different for a given charactertic but the similarity must be consistant. Over the last four weeks I played this game almost daily and graphed my time improvement. By doing so I was able to see a steady decrease in the amount of time it took me to find all six sets. My times and a breif reflection can be seen in the link below. A new puzzle is posted daily at []. Give it a try.
