I can't imagine that they are all math related.   Also, did you check out the main riddle site? (The Red question mark at the top).   Also, usually the math related puzzles in easy/medium, do not require too much algebra or even a degree. Basic High school mathematics should be sufficient. I suggest you give some of them a try, you might even like them « Last Edit: Apr 3rd, 2009, 11:05am by Aryabhatta » IP Logged SMQ wu::riddles Moderator Uberpuzzler     Gender: Posts: 2084 Re: Too much math!   « Reply #4 on: Apr 3rd, 2009, 11:14am » Quote Modify That's true: there are a fair number number of non-mathematical riddles here, just no index of them that I'm aware of.  Along other lines, googling "logic puzzles" rather than "riddles" (assuming you haven't already) may lead you to some different sites.   --SMQ IP Logged --SMQ Cerberus Newbie     Posts: 10 Re: Too much math!   « Reply #5 on: Apr 3rd, 2009, 12:42pm » Quote Modify Thanks guys!   IP Logged Pages: 1  Reply Notify of replies Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- riddles -----------------------------  - easy   - medium   - hard   - what am i   - what happened   - microsoft   - cs   - putnam exam (pure math) => suggestions, help, and FAQ   - general problem-solving / chatting / whatever ----------------------------- general -----------------------------  - guestbook   - truth   - complex analysis   - wanted   - psychology   - chinese « Previous topic | Next topic »
