Ok, here's a good one. Sorry if this has been posted before but I did a quick search and didn't find it. It's called the Einstein quiz, good luck.

EINSTEIN QUIZ

Below is a quiz written by Einstein last century. He said that 98% of the people in the world cannot solve the quiz. Are you among the other 2%?

Facts:
1) There are 5 houses in 5 different colors.
2) In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
3) These 5 owners drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
4) No two owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink.

Hints:
1) The Brit lives in a red house.
2) The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3) The Dane drinks tea.
4) The green house is on the left of the white house.
5) The green house owner drinks coffee.
6) The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7) The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8) The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk.
9) The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10) The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who keeps cats.

12) The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13) The German smokes Prince.
14) The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15) The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

I come in different shapes and sizes. Part of me are curves, others are straight. You can put me anywhere you like, but there is only one right place for me. When you put me together a perfect picture I'll be.
What am I?

A puzzle (no, i'm not looking these up)
 
Pullmyfinger - yours is gonna take me a bit, but I've solved one like this before.

Here's one:

Mr Chow, Mr Dow, Mr Frow work as carpenter, painter and pasterer, but not necessarily in that same order. The plasterer makes more money than the painter, and Mr Frow makes more money than Mr Dow. The painter and the carpenter always go out together with their wives on weekends. The carpenter and the pasterer have known each other since childhood. Mr Frow have never met Mr Dow. What is each man's occupation ?
 
I went out for a walk and met three beggars. To the first I gave ten cents, to the second
I gave ten cents, and to the third I gave five. What time of day was it?

KillFace,
My friend did this (I'm reviewing a drawing right now), he says Chow is the Carpenter, Dow is the Painter, and Frow is the Plasterer.

Naw. The carpenter knows both the painter and the plasterer.

Check out David Chew's Winner's Club it's a pretty cool site where you can "compete" against others in riddles and crap.
 
First tell me the person who lives in disguise;
Who deals in serets and tell naught but lies.
Then tell me what's allways the last thing to mend,
the middle of middle, and the end of end.
Finally,give me the sound often heard
during the search to a hard-to-find word.
Put them together and answer me this:
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss.
