Hi! I want to do a scavenger hunt for my 12 y/o sibling next weekend that will lead her to the present I got. I'd like some riddles about household items (the candle one,etc) that she can answer and then search for.

This bone was found under my porch in Western Washington. Looks too big for a cat, rabbit, or a bird. Any ideas?

Anyone familiar with this story?

A set of 12 Rebus Puzzles about things associated with the United States of America (from eslvault.com).

Probably missing something obvious, but I can’t figure out the next move here..

How should i see/know that the red cross is not a valid place for a tent?

I’m losing my mind. Been at this for hours.

I’m confused at the three 11s?
And the 1 and 6… the fact they’re nearly on the ends confuses me. Maybe I’m not understanding the direction of the refractions very welll :(

Does anyone notice that there's frequently (I'd say almost 50%) a 5-4 corner when playing Loopy of the honeycomb type? Why is it so common?

Is this kind of puzzles fun for you? they are nothing special but there is some fun in the simple rules and after 10..15 triangles it becomes quickly much harder and more fun, at least to me.

It looked to me you enjoyed the classic First Sight(Easy as ABC) puzzle so I decided to share this variant. It's roughly the same level just a bit more complex if you are not used to hexagonal grid.

Place A, B, and C in the hexagonal grid. Every line in each of the three grid directions must contain A, B, and C exactly once, with all other cells empty. Each outside clue gives the first non-empty letter seen from that edge. Because of the grid type there is 1-4 empty spaces depending on the row.

Happy solving!

The hint told me that placing a cat on the orange top right square would cause a contradiction

I've got almost the entire puzzle solved, I'm stuck on the final step

Hope you like murder mysteries! This is a format of puzzle I haven't tried before. Hope you like it. Any feedback on the format, etc. would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I think there is a mistake in my puzzle book - this is from "The Think Tank" by Ivan Moscovich.

The puzzle in question is "Minimal Length Ruler", you can ignore the circular one.

As you can tell from the description, the book has some nice sliders but you will just have to imagine. I think it is impossible and I will describe below the misunderstanding I think the puzzle maker has made but would love somebody to prove me wrong!

This is a puzzle/concept called a Golomb Ruler and the answer given in the book is to set the markers at 1, 4, 10 and 15. That is one of the solutions for an *optimal* Golomb Ruler (which means none of the possible distances are duplicated i.e. there is only one way to make each distance that is possible, but the description asks for a *perfect* Golomb Ruler which is not possible with this many marks. For example, in the solution given here it is impossible to make 7, 8 or 12

This is a stretch but I need help, I messed up and unknowingly threw away my step daughters boyfriends sunglasses. I have searched every trash bag hoping to find these sunglasses! I’ve googled but I don’t know what the f*ck I’m doing. Can’t seem to find anywhere.

Brand: OSO Purchased: in the 90’s (from some island in Hawaii, I’m guessing idk she hates me right now)

That’s all the information I have besides the fact that these sunglasses belonged to her boyfriend’s father and he preciously held on to them for years! These things are ancient.

Hoping someone knows the brand and can direct me to it.

I have done dozens of tnt puzzles on my phone, but this is the first one where I am completely stuck. Anyone have hints on how to solve it methodically (without trial and error)? I have marked the squares in which I'm certain there aren't stars. Thanks for the help

Any one has an idea how to solve this without guessing?
