It started off with a visit over to our friend <a href=\"http:\/\/hypocriticalblogging.blogspot.com\/\">Shanna&#8217;s<\/a>.  She had one of those Dell Logic Puzzle magazines, and so I started doing one of the puzzles in there.  She let me take it home where I&#8217;m sure I violated several laws by making copies of the harder logic puzzles.  I only like the harder ones because I find the easier ones too easy.  To me, essentially all of the easier puzzles are the same puzzle, just with different words.  But that&#8217;s because I&#8217;m a nerd like that.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, one of the things I&#8217;ve done over the past year or so is create my own logic puzzles.  I did a bit of research and found the submission guidelines for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dellmagazines.com\">Dell Magazines<\/a> as well as for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennypress.com\">Penny Press<\/a>, who, oddly enough, happen to be run by the same company.  So I submitted one of the puzzles that I had created and we shall see.  Their rates are $30 for an easy puzzle up to $125 for the hardest (5-star) puzzle.  I&#8217;m not sure how they determine that but I think the one that I sent was a 5-star one.  Though frankly I expect it would take me less time to do 4 easy puzzles than create one hard one.<\/p>\n<p>But it would be a fun way to earn a bit of extra income.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I&#8217;ve been doing some logic puzzles lately.
