Constant learning is important, but often times a very boring process. To tackle this issue, the guys from Kurzgesagt have started releasing new, engaging, educational videos every few weeks. Some of the puzzling topics they cover are A.I. (artificial intelligence), finance, the Big Bang, and many others. Both the quality of the production and the content itself are very high, so we recommend all of our friends to watch these videos.

So, do not waste time and go check Kurzgesagt’s website by clicking the image below, or simply visit the official YouTube channel.

Even though the website rarely has been updated in the last few years, it can offer tens of hours of problem solving to all newcomers. In order to sign up and explore everything TMT has to offer, you must first complete one of the numerous puzzles posted there. An easy one you can start with is “Old McDonald”, which can be solved using this… SPOILER.

We have always believed puns are fun, but never thought they could be so challenging. Matthew Broussard, a comedian, has made hundreds of them for his website Monday Punday. Every Monday Matthew adds new puzzle pun, which you can try to solve and check your answer. Just make sure you don’t give up the solution, because he really does not like that.

After you finish with Ouverture Facile, you can check also “Notpron”, “God Tower”, “Weffriddles”, and “The Python Challenge”.

You may not know this, but we have a strange penchant for optical illusions, fractals, and other mind-perplexing images. That’s why we got so impressed when we saw for the first time the “infinite-zoom” artwork by Nikolaus Baumgarten. Bearing the suitable name “The Zoomquilt”, this seemingly never-ending image instantly became our favorite screen-saver. Take a look at it by clicking the image below, and if you like it, make sure to search YouTube for other similar illustrations.
