Puzzles are a curious thing; they solve so easily when solving them at home and almost always let us down in exams. Why? Have you asked yourself?
Why at home we can solve hundreds of questions without mistake and in an exam we can’t even make A or B sit in the correct order to actually get an answer!
Sometimes you might have encountered a situation where having solved a puzzle,
when clicking on options, you find that after 2-3 questions (where you were able to find your ‘correct’ option), in the 4/5th questions your answer according to your arrangement is not there in the options at all!
Has anyone of you encountered such a frustrating situation? I know I have, and many of friends have too.
It all happens because of tension. At home we don’t take tension = puzzles get solved correctly. In the exam, we take a lot of tension = puzzles get more puzzled!
So let us try not to take tension and learn how to solve puzzles in an easy manner.
1. Know your enemy – or in this case, the common puzzle structure.
Seating arrangements with Banks/Colour/Fruit/Language/State/car models etc. likes and dislikes and options.Or, Days and subjects with the similar likes and dislike thing. Or, maybe months/floors/single row/double row etc. with multiple likes/dislikes options.
The more complicated the better for them and worse for us!
2. Every battle has a plan – so should you!
I look at puzzles as a personal battle with the Gods of Luck, and I used to always lose – until the day I planned my puzzle solving the quest.Yes, dear readers, plan. How? Well, then read on …
3. Read once, start drawing –
A table or a circle or a row or multiple rows…whatever as per the given question.Do not waste time reading the whole puzzle! In the two lines, you get to know if it’s a seating arrangement in circle/square/row/multiple rows etc., immediately draw the required figure.
4. Keep reading and arranging –
Once you have the basic structure of arrangement, then keep reading and after every line, arrange the information given in that sentence.
Go one sentence at one time. Arrange the information given in one sentence and only then move to the next one.

5. Use tables
To solve puzzles of days/subjects/floors/persons where there is no seating order.
This is a great way to solve puzzles – and you’ll see that your questions will start looking easy once you have all the information nicely arranged in a tabulated manner.

6. Indirect clues
After arranging as per the direct information available in question, you’ll see that some are left un-arranged.
These will require your logical reasoning abilities to be able to solve these indirect relations.
Everyone can do it. You can do it. But the difference between a successful candidate and the unsuccessful one is – the presence of mind/clarity of thinking/ and keeping calm and composed.
