Stress Relieving Puzzles

In all our lives these days, we have so much stress. From whatever it is from, we have to relieve or else we'll just.... explode. Divorce. Suicide. The possibilities are endless. So before you even think about these gruesome things, check out this list of a few puzzles and games that will intrigue and relieve.

Fifteen Puzzle
Have you ever seen these? The first time I even saw one, I was so amazed by it. It seemed like the funnest thing in the world! Plus, it was during a break during tests, so it was a major relief. You have 16 slots, and 15 of those are numbers from 1 to 15. You have one slot open, and you use that to slide the numbers around, trying to get the numbers in order. It is really fun, and it really makes you forget about anything.

The World's Hardest Game
This is an online game. I know. Kind of lame, but incredibly addicting. Doesn't the name just make you want to prove it wrong? Check out the link for a few minutes of relaxation and stress-relief. Thanks to Armor Games which is the host, though this game has been featured everywhere.

Building Puzzles
Visit your local hobby shop or something, and buy the first puzzle or building toy you see. So trivial, yet it could prove to be your lifesaver.
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away." Those spheres that you have to assemble with the odd pieces? Those 3x3x3 cubes which have to be assembled when they are attached in weird ways? Yep, those will take you breath away. Live your life.

Einstein's Puzzle
This is a pretty grueling riddle that takes even smartest Harvard graduates a few moments to think about. It will take away your time and stress. This puzzle is one of those case puzzles where they give you clues and you have to figure something out. Anyway, this will test your brain, and at the very least take your mind off the big things in your life. Try the link:
