Here's my first Published Story - really a mathematical logic puzzle, rather than a true story. But math can be fun too.

I really enjoyed playing your game. It was great!

I was thinking of doing that old "guess what cup the ball is under" trick as a game, but I can't figure it out...

Do you think you could make a "cups and balls trick" game? You know, where the player has to guess what cup the ball is under?  I'd love to use it (or something similar) in my next story...

No, because the reader has to watch the cups go around. Unless you had a series of complicated steps listed, I don't think you can. (Unless you were to do a CYS movie, but I believe only the highest of 'officials' are able to do that, like alexp)

If seeing the cups move is not required, then you could do something simular. Having a number of cups and a certain number of peeks could be used if the peeks gave you some sort of information to build on as you went...

The best thing to do would be to find an actual logic puzzle somewhere and then try to convert it to game form

I like that idea: 'Having a number of cups and a certain number of peeks could be used if the peeks gave you some sort of information to build on...'!
