PUZZLES (http://www.thepotters.com/puzzles.html):
There are two types of puzzles; kid's and adult's, the only difference
being the size of the puzzle and the number of words. The kid's puzzles
almost always have 18 words, while the adult's puzzles may have over
50. I try to fit as many words as I can on the adults's puzzles. All of
the kid's puzzles are lumped into one big category, Kid's Puzzles. The
adult's puzzles are broken into 7 categories, General, Geography,
Holidays, Letters, Bible, Sports, and TV-Movies.
- RIDDLES
(http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/riddles/intro.shtml):
This is an archive of problems I've been collecting since the Spring of
2002. They come from many places, including word of mouth, college
courses, books, and job interviews for hi-tech positions. Many are even
written by members of our own forum community. These carefully chosen
puzzles will demand you to think in creative ways you perhaps normally
would not. In fact, some will seem outright impossible at first ... but
once you crack them, the epiphany can be truly rapturous!
