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

If you like word riddles, just look for any riddle by shakeepuddn to find a pearl.

If you're not already familiar with his style, here's one that's not too difficult (at least by his standards) to give you a taste of it.

The honestant / swindlecant / randomcant that had me pulling my hair out.

A "hats" problem that blew just about everyone's mind.

The reason reason I joined Brainden.com.. to share   " Lethal solution"  and  "Unanswered". My favorites even those are  my  OPs.

#1 Lethal Solution

 

On top of a digital weighing scale

are four identical glasses, filled with

water, weighs A grams each. Then,

somehow the poison X was sneaked

into one of them with no change in

color, odor  or volume.

 

  \     /    \      /     \      /   \      /

   \__/      \__/       \__/      \__/

==========================

               [4 A + x ]

 

Using the scale once.Can you find out

which of the glasses is poisoned?
