The exciting quest in the mysterious land of the Sage and the new challenge for your IQ! Pretty neat, but it seems that this site has very high-quality games on it too… ---

A fairly difficult puzzle game, which sort of seems easy at first. [http://www.funny-games.biz/unfolding.html](http://www.funny-games.biz/unfolding.html) Now maybe some of you math types will come prove me wrong, but I have a friend doing his math PhD (and has actually done some knot theory), and he had trouble with it. ---
