In my opinion, 1st Sunday of December will be more appropriate.

I would suggest the National Puzzle Day to be in January. Because during the month of December people who study in School/College have their exams. Have faced this problem personally a lot during last 3-4 years preliminary rounds of National Sudoku Championship.

@Amit, I do agree with all of you to have it around December

If it helps make the decision at all, in the U.S. we celebrate National Puzzle Day on 29th Jan.

@ David
Could you share with us the reason why 29th January is celebrated as a Puzzle Day?

I like the idea of having a National Puzzle Day :)
I would vote for 1st week of December.

I'd also agree with 1st sunday of december every year to be made as the National Puzzle Day (inspite of some concerns raised by Aditya earlier). That seems to be the majority opinion, at least, among those who have responded here. But, more importantly, we need to finalize the event(s) for the "National Puzzle Day". Amit had a suggestion earlier. Rajesh would surely have something in mind, when he suggested this.

@amit: I'm not entirely sure, but for some reason this year it really got overshadowed because some idiot on the Internet declared January 29 to be Lady Gaga Day and no one paid attention to anything regarding National Puzzle Day.

We are working on having National Puzzle Day in December.
Details will be published after WPC.

Why not keep it on a fixed date between 25th December and 1st Jan, sure to be holidays then. Or maybe on some "19" date since many of the puzzles use the numbers 1-9.

Oh and Lady Gaga Day is just so... Ridiculous I guess :P Who celebrates that anyway ?

Not sure whose idea the Lady Gaga thing was, but I'm displeased.

When the date for the National Puzzle Day for India is established, let me know and I'll add it to the calendar on The Griddle.

What about having National Puzzle Day this year?
