About Superbrain Teasers (Hindustan Times)
Superbrain Teasers is the brain teaser section of the Hindustan Times games page, listed beside the paper's Mini Crossword, Word Flower and Word Row. The page describes it as a test of your IQ with maths and logic puzzles.
The puzzles are credited to Kabir Firaque and are played in the PuzzleMe player from Amuse Labs. A new one is posted at about 5am India time from Monday to Saturday; there is no Sunday puzzle. Each one has a short title that hints at its story, such as Garden creatures, Average speed or Wrong labels.
A day's puzzle is a single word problem: a short scenario about ages, speeds, money, counting or a logical trap. You think it through, then type the answer into the box and press Enter. A correct answer shows your time, a score and a one-line explanation of the solution. There is no grid and no word list, just one question to crack.
It suits people who liked the puzzle columns in newspapers and want one problem a day that needs a pencil rather than a dictionary. Earlier teasers stay listed on the page, so you can work back through the archive.
