Some interesting survey questions they've asked, and some more interesting results.
I could have guessed at the age stats, but the female % is certainly interesting. I'm guessing it's the psychological style of these games that draws a certain demographic in. Most puzzle games are about clearing, which is a logical 'cleaning' process. I hate most match-3 and puzzle games, but others such as tetris I really enjoy, to the point of just buying a GBA and an old copy of tetris to play it. I have no idea why.
Try playing tetris for half an hour, then cleaning your room :)
