Riddles have been an important part of our childhood. When we were just learning to read, write, question, and apply logic, our parents and grandparents asked us for engaging yet easy-peasy riddles to enhance our logical thinking. As we grew up a bit, we did not require our parents or grandparents to read riddles aloud, instead, we would grab our favorite kids' magazines and enjoy interesting riddles. However, as we grew up even more, the burden of textbooks tore those delicate fun magazines and we forgot about trying riddles and boosting our logical thinking. The world of rote learning and the pressure of scoring well in exams shut our doors for logical reasoning temporarily. Then, while growing up, we got introduced to a subject called “Math” and we started hating it. The subject was good only until counting was involved counting to 100. 

The moment it welcomed symbols, alphabets, and theorems, it became super complicated. That is when students started hating the subject.

However, what if we tell you that we have compiled both “Math” and “Riddles” together and have brought forward this exciting amalgamation?

Presenting some interesting yet challenging math puzzles that may make you doubt your intellect. Here you go!
