I want to share a series of questions that are created by myself.
I will give a hint in 24 hours and my answer in 3 days given that nobody could answer my question.
Here is my number sequence:

If you guys want some extremely challenging questions. Please check these ...
Given:
U, V, C are 3 distinct digits..values can vary from 1 to 9.
CU is a concatenated number
Solve for U,V, C from the following relationship:
$U^V$ X $V^U $ = $CU $
This will give some basis to upcoming Unique Pan digital
Fraction problems.
This puzzle is part 14 of Gladys' journey across the globe. Each part can be solved independently. Nevertheless, if you are new to the series, feel free to start at the beginning: Introducing Gladys.

I have strange 5-pieces cube puzzle which I can't solve for a long time. I don't know name of the puzzle and can't google it. Can you help to recognize it?
I have your C4 solution, @Deusovi, but I'm not going to post it because I also have a lot of stuff to do today and probably wouldn't be able to post a replacement for a while. I do have a quibble about it, though.
The Arithmetic Puzzles are finally back! The break I took was longer than expected...
Let's start easy then.
\begin{align}6\times8&=72\\10\times9&=6\\1\times1&=1\\18\times69&=\,?\end{align}
Can you find the value of the question mark?
Puzzling Weekend! UVc is back again with Lots of Magic... Enjoy the Show!
Given: LOTS is being multiplied by F to yield MAGIC.
Digit 0 to 9 are all represented by ten different letters in this multiplication Alphameric.
LOTS, MAGIC represent two concatenated Numbers.
$ LOTS $ X $F$ = $...

I have a text that have been encoded into a grid of black and white pixels. I have both the grid and the decoded text, but I don't know how the text have been encoded.
What's the best approach to finding the cipher algorithm when you have the code and the decoded text and there is no obvious clu...

@Randal'Thor That Koffka puzzle is sort of a riddle, in that indirect clues alluding to an answer are given. I'm not particularly concerned either way to be honest, but ... if not a riddle, what is it?

I've been #1 in that list, the highest-reputation user on Puzzling SE, since early 2015. But it seems the time has finally come to give up that position and succumb to the relentless rise of the Gareth.

@Rubio I still don't get it ... pretty much any puzzle has indirect clues alluding to an answer. If it's a riddle, it should be describing something - what's it describing? There's a pattern to be found among words, not a thing being described indirectly.
I mean, of course feel free to just roll back my edit @Rubio. Normally I'd just assume that you know what you're doing, but I wasn't sure if 2016-you had a good grasp of tag usages yet :-)
@Randal'Thor The additional part is is definitely addressed in the accepted answer
I can understand if you think the "connect the clues" part is dissimilar to a riddle enough to not warrant that tag, but I thought (and still think) it's close enough.
I wouldn't put "riddle" on a standard issue "What is a ... Word™?" puzzle, for sure.
The part where you need to figure out what Koffka references, what the reference to weeks/days/hours is about, and adding the bits up to be a number that works? yes.
OK, I see your point. But it's still not describing a solution in an indirect way. None of the clues actually point to 47, only to a solution process by which you can get 47.
Lots of puzzles have indirect clues towards an unknown solution process without being called riddles.
I could see an argument in favor of it being a riddle, with the condition that the solution to the riddle is the process of combining the numbers rather than the solution to the overall puzzle.
Thanks for the congratulations @Randal'Thor, @Rubio, @Deusovi. I may yet get overtaken again, of course...
and since no one else has done it and tomorrow should be quieter than today:
@Deusovi Solution to your CCCC is BRASS TACKS (= BRAS STACKS). My quibble is that those would be bra stacks or stacks of bras but surely not bras stacks :-).
Given:
U, V, C are 3 distinct digits..values can vary from 1 to 9.
CU is a concatenated number
Solve for U,V, C from the following relationship:
$U^V$ X $V^U $ = $CU $

Each column in the clue card represents the first letter of the same word for various languages. Can you determine the right English words?
