    I’m the guy in the background saying “go back to teaching Euclid and proof in schools”, as the real point was to teach logical deduction from established facts.

      Logic puzzles should be applied in more classrooms. Start with simple problems in elementary school, and progress to more challenging ones as students grow. Critical thinking needs to start early.

        A lot of the issue with logic problems is the “common sense” element required. With purely geometric problems, there are less of these to worry about.

        Chess problems also work well to teach logical step application.
