    “What always weighs the same no matter how large it is?” “No sooner spoken than broken. What is it?” “What dries and dries and keeps getter wetter?” If you enjoy a challenge, then today’s mind bending riddle sites are for you.

    Select your puzzles by choosing a difficulty rating (from one to three question marks) and deciding whether or not to include Gotchas. Gotchas (sometimes called groaners) are trick questions with a play on words or an unexpected twist. "On which side of a cup is it best to have the handle? The outside." Gotcha! When you click on the View Answer button, the answer will appear at the bottom of your browser window for just a few moments. To keep the answer on your screen a bit longer, select "Click here to keep the answer visible for sixty seconds" which displays directly below the solution.

    "Puzzles For the Brain To Gnaw On." Brain Food's puzzle collections includes hundreds of problems organized into seven categories: Logic Puzzles, Word Puzzles, Lateral Thinking Puzzles, Tricky Puzzles, Word Boxes, Numbered Puzzles, and Logi-Number Puzzles. You'll find the Groaners listed under Tricky Puzzles. "I have two U.S. coins that add up to fifty-five cents. One is not a nickel. What are they?" Click Solution to reveal "A nickel and a half dollar. Only one is not a nickel." I can hear you groaning from here.

    Grey Labyrinth5 stars

    "It's like switching your point of view. Things sometimes look complicated from one angle, but simple from another." - Achilles to the Tortoise, G��del, Escher, Bach. The Grey Labyrinth is a playground of mental calisthenics for curious minds. Visually stunning, it was created to showcase the talents of a group of graphic-designing puzzle enthusiasts. Current problems are posted without their solutions. About once a month, a new question is posed along with the answer to the previous puzzle. The authors encourage feedback from readers who disagree with their solutions, or those who propose alternative answers.
