I hope gearce won't hate me for doing this but logic puzzles are great.

Rules
* If you answer the puzzle, also add why this is the answer and not one copied or noticeably rewritten off a site.
* You can use any puzzle of a site or book or whatever, but you need the whole solution.

I'll get the ball rolling, heres three puzzles to start off with. You may recognize some of them, which I guess is alot of people here if there a fan of the game.


Puzzle 1 - Easy
Power cell drain must not exceed total.
Same total energy pool as either 300 small pulses or 180 large pulses.
Upper motivator has used 100 small pulses.

1. 110
2. 120
3. 135
4. 140

How many large pulses left in remaining fraction?


Puzzle 2 - Alittle Harder
Node 1 reports Node 2 failed.
Node 2 reports Node 3 failed.
Node 3 reports Node 2 failed.
Two of the above are definitely false.

1. Node 1 reporting accurately.
2. Node 2 reporting accurately.
3. Node 3 reporting accurately.

Which Node is reporting accurately?


Puzzle 3 - Hard
Finish this sequence:
4 * 14 * 11 - 14 * 31 - 14 * 13 - 21 - 14 * ? * ?

1. 18 - 31 - 11 - 21 * 41 - 18 - 13 - 22
2. 31 - 14 - 12 - 14 * 23 - 41 - 12 - 14
3. 31 - 13 - 12 - 14 * 23 - 41 - 12 - 14
4. 32 - 14 - 14 - 12 * 13 - 22 - 31 - 24

I don't even understand the question. It doesn't explain what the items and terminology are.

Puzzle 2 - Alittle Harder
Node 2 is correct. 1 has reported inaccurately, as has 3 that Node 2 has failed. Based on this, Node 3 has failed as reported by 2. Because 2 has not failed, you can correctly assume 1 has reported incorrectly.

Puzzle 3 - Hard
Option 3, numbers of each digit in the preceding sequence

Great Work BatVink, puzzle 2 and 3 are correct.

As for puzzle 1, i've rewrote it to make sence, hope this helps.

A Power Cell's total energy pool (or max amount of energy) is either 300 small pulses or 180 large pulses (a pulse being an amount of energy). The upper motivator(don't ask) of the Power Cell has used 100 small pulses. How many large pulses left out of the remaining Power Cell's energy?

Dont mind If i fit a puzzle in?

You have number from 1 up to 8, you have to fit them numbers in cross shaped box, but at the center its extruded by one more box, and the boxes going up and down in the middle are no longer there, Now using the numbers 1 to 8 fit them in, but You cant have a number thats lower or higher by 1 next to it.
It took my 5 seconds to crack, and my familiy took quite a long time to do it, around 3 minutes.
