But I'm wondering about the weirder, or the funnier, or the just-plain-illogical.I gave my players a math puzzle in an old game once. They took one look at the numbers and declared "Hey wait, Melissa (me) is no good at math so this obviously can't be a math puzzle."They spent about 50 minutes looking for some type of riddle or pattern. Eventually I gave up (despite their protesting, because they wanted to figure it out themselves) and told them the answer.It was just a math puzzle. It was relatively simple math too, and I'm sure they could have gotten it if they hadn't been so quick to eliminate all possibility that math would help them.Apparently they didn't realize it's not that hard, for anyone, to Google up some tricky puzzles and problems.</blockquote>
