Across the River Row everything across the river without leaving the wrong two alone together.

Knight Hops Hop the knight like in chess, two squares and then one to the side. Visit every apple.

Water Jugs Fill, pour and empty two jugs until one holds just the right amount.
Number Chain Fill in the missing numbers so you can walk from 1 to the end, one touching square at a time.

Cross Out Doubles Shade squares so no number shows twice in a row or column. Shaded squares may not touch.
Star Places Put one star in every row, every column and every colored patch. Stars may not touch, not even at the corners.
Shade the Sums Shade squares so each row and column adds up to the number at its end. A square is worth its column number across, and its row number down.
Light and Mirrors Set mirrors in the squares so the lamp's light bounces to the round target.

Scale Riddles Some scales hang level. Read them, then put the right number of apples on the last scale.

Arrow Trail Every square has an arrow. Walk from 1 to the end, visiting each square once. Each step goes the way the arrow points, as far as you like.

Lightest to Heaviest The jars look alike but weigh different amounts. Weigh two at a time, then line them up from lightest to heaviest.

Dot Clues Fill the grid so each row and column has each number once. A white dot sits between numbers that follow on, like 2 and 3. A black dot sits where one number is double the other.
Shapes in Line Each row and each column holds one of each shape, and the rest stay empty. A shape at the edge is the first one you meet from that side.
Pairs in Rooms Shade two squares in every room. Each shaded square must touch exactly one other shaded square, so they make pairs.
Tilt the Tray Tilt the tray and every marble rolls at once until something stops it. Roll each marble into its cup.
