@bobble "High IQ riddle - only 1% of people get this right!"
 
i'd click that
 
"Here's a hard one: bet you can't solve it!"
 
"Cryptic with 37 clues. 6 Across will leave you speechless."
Actually, I wonder if one can make a cryptic clue like this...
 
Avi
"leaving you speechless" sounds like a great way to take the words out of your mouth
... or words out of your words!
 
I will provide free imaginary cookies to anyone who makes a good cryptic clue like that
(the cookies have imaginary sprinkles. and frosting)

@jafe, here's my (unfinished) attempt at the clickbaity cryptic clue. Maybe you can finish it?
Cryptic with 1000 answers. [word starting with t and ending with e] extremists [insetion indicator] #4 after college! (12) = UNIFORMATIVE
(FOR + M + A + _ T(IV)E _) led by UNI
oh gods I spelled "uninformative" incorrectly
scratch that
actually, just add a word giving N after "college"

Hey, does anyone know, offhand, a good place to get American cryptic crossword puzzles?
That is, crossword puzzles containing chiefly Cryptic or "British-style" clues, but whose target audience is Americans rather than Brits?
 
here?
Under the [cryptic-crosswords] tag
 
GAMES World of Puzzles has four per issue, 6 issues per year.
I have written a couple, and am from the US, so my clues are likely inherently biased toward Americanisms.
 
I'll have to check that out.

Q: Right triangles with polygons

Display mathsI drew all the regular polygons in a circle of radius one. I decided to take one side of the equilateral triangle, one side of the square and one side of the regular hexagon to form a right triangle. Is it possible to form other right triangles from other regular polygons in this circle?
