Jan 16, 2015 at 19:27 comment added Asaf Karagila Mod @Grigory: No, puzzle is rarely a mathematically viable topic; but I don't see how it's any different than a logical seasoning tag. I mean, unless you're question is specifically about some other topic in mathematics, in which case it's clear that logical seasoning is not the topic; then you question is essentially about solving some puzzle using logical seasoning. It's a superset, then, and I don't see the need for adding a sub-tag. It won't cause people not to use [logic] anyway.
Jan 15, 2015 at 21:12 comment added Grigory M Oh, and «something mathematically viable .. e.g. a puzzle» — do you really consider (puzzle) to be a good description of an area of mathematics? To me it sounds only slightly better than (question)... (And (logical-reasoning) tries to solve a part of this problem by adding a more descriptive tag to at least some 'puzzles'.)
Jan 15, 2015 at 21:09 comment added Grigory M Well, I don't really insist on this particular name — but it seems that there is a need for a tag about, well, logical reasoning (including 'logical problems' in the sense of... I don't know Smullyans book — tagging them formal logic «including model theory, proof theory, computability theory» seems hardly appropriate).
Jan 15, 2015 at 21:02 comment added Asaf Karagila Mod @Grigory: I still don't think it's a good fit. Either the question is about something mathematically viable (e.g. a puzzle, a game-theoretic notion, probability, etc.) or it's not a good fit for the site.
Jan 15, 2015 at 20:52 comment added Grigory M @Asaf The idea of this name is that it's for questions that just about logical-reasoning — and to me this logic looks quite similar to names like number-theory or set-theory (which are obviously not just for any questions that ask to find some number or include some sets :-)
Jan 15, 2015 at 19:00 comment added Asaf Karagila Mod What mathematical questions (i.e. not reference requests or big lists) are not about logical reasoning? (As for the relative cleanliness of the logic tag, you're welcome. :-))

Jan 8, 2015 at 23:08 comment added Grigory M (logical-reasoning) sounds good to me (and IMHO the suggestion makes a lot of sense)
