What is the minimum number of the square patches needed to sew a patch quilt of a perfect square? Have you ever asked the patch quilt makers about it? No? Then ask.
Choose an integer from 0 to 15
(inclusive of 0 and 15). You ask me 7 yes/no questions, I answer them
all. I am allowed to lie once (I don't have to lie that once but I am
allowed to). Determine the number I am thinking of and tell me how to
do this.

A dozen of figures and supposed all of them
can be drawn in one continuous line. But what if not all can be drawn
so? Now it's a challenge for you - to find out the truth.
Gold coin weighs one gram, counterfeit
coin weighs 1.1 grams. You have 10 bags full of coins, nine of the
bags are full of real gold but one bag is full of the counterfeit
coins. Given a perfect scale (a pointer scale, for example) and ONE
weighing can you determine which bag has counterfeit coins? If so how?

It's the visual one but it's not an illusion. Count how many dot-per-corner squares are
hidden in the given figure and don't let the answer square your error.

I have a math puzzle that I just
can't get.
You have 4 people (A, B, C and D) that need to cross a bridge under 13
min and only 1 flashlight. You can only go with the flashlight, no
more than 2 persons at a time, and always as fast as the slowest
person. To cross the bridge persons need:
A=1min; B=2min; C=5min; D=6min.
How do you get all 4 of the across in only 13 min?
P.S. they can't go on each others back!

You have three bears and three humans.
The bears and humans have to take a boat from one island to another
island. One bear is a special bear who can drive the boat. The boat
can hold no more than two - 2 bears, or 2 humans, or 1 bear plus 1
human. There can never be more bears than humans on either island or
the human will be killed. How can this be done?

I was wondering if you can help me
solve this puzzle:
Grandfather is a very hard-boiled customer. In fact, his eggs must be
boiled for exactly 15 minutes, no more, no less. One day he asks you
to prepare breakfast for him, and the only timepieces in the house are
two hourglasses. The larger hourglass takes 11 minutes for all the
sand to descend; the smaller takes 7 minutes. What do you do?
...Grandfather grows impatient...
