As we all should know by now there's a lot going on with riddles lately. One major issue is that we can't really compare or measure quality.
Regarding the so called quality issue I came up with the following idea:
I'd like some people who feel up to the task to write a short riddle about somethi...
I'm currently working on a (difficult) number progression and need your help. How would you continue?
2, 5, 12, 25, 54, 113, 240, 481 ?
Thanks in forward!
Eh. I thought it was fine to begin with, it was only after a lot of time had passed that I began to worry about it. If I have serious misgivings at the outset, I just come up with a different clue.
make a demand for (money) under the terms of an insurance policy. "she could have claimed the cost through her insurance" synonyms: request, ask for, apply for; demand, exact
Not something that I thought of on my own, though.
From ”rogues do it from behind”, we get that ”like a rogue” means the CC instruction ”flip”. Then both of the ”steal from”s are ”pilfer”, which, when flipped, becomes ”reflip”. So, using the ”again”,
we get ’reflip’ from the last part too, so we reflip it, to get back to
It’s surprisingly difficult to get rid of the meta layers in an acceptable way, the English language doesn’t, for some bizarre reason, have punctuation for ”interpret, then interpret the result”. But since some other languages do, this might work: ”Steal, bash, $(steal back) (6)”
I need your help.
I'm a physics grad student, but I've always really loved music. So for the past few months, I've been interning with this Italian piano maker - I don't want to say his name here. He's very passionate about music, thinks of it like it's own language. But he's always really paran...
there are 40 people including Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and 40 plates of rice. 4 Muslims eat 1. 1 Hindu eats 4 plates. 1 Sikh eat 2 plates. find the total number of Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and total number of plates eaten by each catogary. as there are no plates left and everyone eats something.
I keep thinking the CCCC might be RECONS or something similar, but I can't get it to fit. In particular, there's no reason to have the initial "Steal from" if it were something like that.
Is there any chance that it's "remove some consecutive letters from [STEAL FROM]", and "again" is an anagrind? With that, I can get LOAFER, and FORMAL. Does that count as an indirect anagram?
I was able show the deconstruction of the intellectual pretension of the Enlightenment. Everyone was under the assumption that reason and science are the only routes to reality and truth. I perceived the idea that we must go deeper into the mind and how it constructs the universe. Most of the Enl...
To create my puzzles, I often use the numerical properties of the integers. However, as of recently, I feel like I am running out of properties to use.
So, why not make it a sort of game to find interesting properties for integers.
What are valid properties?
They are a formula, which is only a...
I was wondering what are some benefits of speed solving for the person involved in this hobby?
I am looking for the information regarding the cognitive benefits of solving the rubiks cube.
I found this article about it:

But unfortunately I couldn't find more...
You must guess the common theme and then solve each rebus (no explanation required). Some might be very straightforward, but others require a little more thinking.
Happy St. Patrick's Day, enjoy!
