Your favorite kind of puzzles

i like puzzles where i have do some work. like if there was code its a turn off for me if its just say rot13 or hex. but if its a substitution cipher with a key and you have to work out the key that a lot more fun.

if puzzles where until layered, like after I'd worked substitution cipher there a bit random letters at the bottom that are anther code. or the key its self is the answer, not the plan text.

the other type of puzzle i like are where stuff is hidden in plan view. like there a image of dots or birds or coins on a web site. there no more then 8 dots in a row and it going on for rest of the web site. the dot are bin code but look a lot better then just typing 10011010. You may even miss it first where the plan bin is just hit you in the face and says look at me I am a puzzle.

but that just me.

Collaborative puzzles. I like the kind where players need to combine information or knowledge to solve the puzzle.

For example:

Ten different players get emails, each with a different message in a different language. The players must not only combine their emails, but they must also find other players fluent in those languages. Then, let's say that the ten emails, when put together, show a complex math problem. You need a player talented in math to solve that part of the puzzle. Etc, etc, etc.

I think you get my idea. But really, I just like this kind of puzzle because it promotes collaboration. IMHO, any puzzle that promotes collaboration is a good puzzle.
