The Greensboro Children's Museum held National Puzzle Day Competitions: National Puzzle day honors puzzles of all sizes, shapes, and forms. We’ll have crossword puzzles, sudoku puzzles, and regular jigsaw puzzles. The entire family can enjoy this event so sign-up today for a day of fun!

Even the Square Dancers are getting into the act.

Square Books in Oxford, MS also had a crossword puzzle contest today.

The Appalachian School of Law Library (Grundy, VA) blogged a fun lawyer-related logic puzzle to separate

Vicky B writes, "This is National Puzzle Day. Puzzles come in all sizes, shapes and formats from easy word searches to building furniture. Imagine you are in the business of creating puzzles. What new type would you come up with? How many pieces would it have? How big is it? Do you need tools to assemble, or a dictionary to solve? Is there a prize for the first solver? Let your imagination puzzle the facts out."

and of course, zillions more sites out there talking about it ... hopefully you'll all take this opportunity to check out Silicon Valley Puzzle Day!!
