Logeliness
The Logelei is a rubric of puzzles from the field of entertainment mathematics in the German weekly newspaper Die Zeit . The contributions are usually embedded in short texts that serve to convey background information or short stories .
history
Logelei first appeared on April 4, 1963 and began with the words "Do you like Logeln?" It was later moved to the Zeitmagazin , which has been published since 1970 , where it is still published weekly to this day. While the ZEIT magazine was discontinued from 1999 to 2007, the logelei was continued to be printed on the games page in the "Life" section.
The author of the Logelei was Thomas von Randow under his pseudonym Zweistein until January 2004 ; one of the employees was the Hamburg mathematics professor Lothar Collatz , who also initially edited them . Since then, Bernhard Seckinger (* 1972; third place at the German Puzzle Championships 2006, with the German national team Vice World Champion 2006 of the World Puzzle Federation ) and the Düsseldorf mathematics professor Immanuel Halupczok (* 1975; with the German national team Puzzle World Champion 2005) and use of the same Pseudonym written.
