Story

wozItDo Tiny IQ puzzel BIG challenge

I think of this puzzle as the electronic equivalent of those annoying “IQ” puzzles (e.g. where you have to get two parts apart). A wozItDo has just one button and three LEDs and all you have to do is to work out what it does. Beware: it’s deceptively tricky and once you think you’ve cracked it, there’s still more.
So what’s with the name? We’ll about 30 years ago I made my first “computer”. A 6502 MPU with a keypad, some 7-segment LEDs and a handful of other bits. I was inordinately proud of it but when I showed it off to other people they seemed unimpressed and often asked “But what’s it do?” Nothing, really, but that’s not the point.
