Are you new to BrainDen and you want to see the best brain teasers? There are thousands of puzzles and riddles here. This thread is a place where you can post your 3 most favorite puzzles published on this site. You can add a short reason why you like them too.

All great puzzles deserve due attention. Don't let great puzzles posted a year ago be unnoticed. Let me start with my favorites.
Hats On A Death Row - simple conditions yet so hard and can be solved without deep knowledge of math (over 500,000 views)
Honestants and Swindlecants III - great example of logic operations
Weighing Puzzle IV - I read this puzzle in year 2002 (I think) and it was one of the reasons to start this whole site

Post links to 3 puzzles that you consider the best. And remember, solution is already posted - DO NOT resurrect these old threads.

Enjoy BD
