I have always liked good puzzles, and I started to consistently collect them when I started studying at the university. I am going to present the best pieces on this page. You will find that most of them are best characterized as 'not obvious'. Hm..., obvious they aren't...
The puzzles are not ordered by difficulty, they are presented mostly in the order I met them. Therefore, you may pick any of them to start. As of today, I am planning to include also the solution to the puzzles but that may take some time. If you solve a puzzle and you think you have to let me know about it, or you can't solve one and you are absolutely clueless, mail me, and I'll try to help you. Please note that I cannot guarantee anything about the response time.
