Le Defi is an online advertisement for the Belgian beer Stella Artois in the form of a flash puzzle game. The set up for the game is that the glass of Stella Artois sits in the middle of a giant mechanical trap to test your wits. Choose one of four puzzles to explore to see if you can win. The puzzle games are very simple. One is essentially a Simon clone that requires you to activate parts of the machine in the same order that you are shown. Another is a Towers of Hanoi clone that requires you to move a stack of gears. Still, it’s fun for something that is essentially an advertisement.
Beer Puzzle
Sticking with the theme of last night’s post, I found a puzzle on the Brookston Beer Bulletin. It’s a 3D puzzle that requires you to fit pieces together in a glass to form a glass of beer. Billied as an exercise for both your right brain hemisphere and left brain hemisphere. This puzzle comes from a Hong Kong based toy seller that also sells a 3D hamburger puzzle. (Along with other great puzzle products.)
Bolleke Puzzle
Passion for Puzzles has a newly posted puzzle that was found on beer coaster in Belgium. The puzzle is a 10X10 grid with filled circles and open circles in various squares. The goal is to fill in more circles so that there are the same amount of filled circles and open circles in each row and column. I’ve only looked at the puzzle briefly, but it’s very interesting. I’m curious to know if it has a single unique solution. Also, if it can be solved purely by logic or requires trial and error.

The Beer Cage Puzzle goes hand-in-hand with the Wine Bottle Puzzle that I posted about a couple weeks ago. Put a can of beer in the cage and lock it in place. To get the beer, you need to solve the puzzle. Another great sobriety test!
