Kavi's No-Computer Puzzles
Kavi pushed the tablet aside. "For this challenge, we don't need a computer at all — just a clever brain!" These are logic puzzles: spot the pattern, find what comes next, put things in a smart order. "Good coders think like this before they ever touch a keyboard. Ready to be clever?"
