[QUOTE="PoorHobo, post: 5523110, member: 65175"] I hate being challenged as a player directly. Seriously, :):):):) puzzles. I'm not good at them and they aren't fun. When they are in games I tend to just treat it like a point and click adventure game and just start trying every possible combination or just wait until someone else figures it out. My high int rogue can't figure it out but the barbarian who has problems remembering his name did. Because I'm playing the rogue and Nostradomus across the table is playing the Barbarian. Its a complete loss of immersion. A while back a GM threw in a puzzle. Not one to disrupt other peoples fun, I kept my mouth shut and had my character do something related, search for a lever or something, I try to stay in character despite my complete lack of care for meta game puzzles. Well after the next 15 or so minutes the other players couldn't figure it out either and they started getting frustrated, after 30 we said :):):):) it and headed back to town and just hung out in the tavern until plot hook NPC showed up and we went off in that direction.
