This one is more fun.  It's Japanese, but fairly straightforward with these directions:

Link to Puzzle

The rules are:
Click on link then click on blue circle. Use the rules below.  
This is going to do your head in, but it can be done. I've worked it out.  
For those of you ! who are not going to even understand the rules (you know who you are) get someone to explain them to you.  
Apparently this is an IQ test given to job applicants in Japan:

"Everybody has to cross the river". The following rules apply:
Only 2 persons on the raft at a time
The father can not stay with any of the daughters without their mother's presence
The mother can not stay with any of the sons without their father's presence
The thief (striped shirt) can not stay with any family member if the Policeman is not there
Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft
To start click on the big blue circle on the right.
To move the people click on them. To move the raft click on the pole on the opposite side of the river.

There seems to be 32 different combinations that all work.   At least when it comes it to summing up 8 different four-component strings of numbers.  33 or 35 are the end totals.  Example:

16 1 3 13
15 2 4 12
14 3 5 11
Etc

However, you can swap the inner ring numbers with the outer numbers and you just have to "spin" them until you get the same sum again.  Then you can reverse them.  Where to actually start with the replaced letters us unclear since 1 can be in many places.  Not to mention the instructions of 1 being the first letter and 2 being the second letter.  Is 2 the second letter of the first word or the first letter of the second word?  The puzzle implies the former, but the letters don't seem to string together into words.

It works, if you have an aunt named Lord, and like, when you start to talk to ask her a question she slaps you and you can't finish.

8.5 being the average of the numbers between 1 and 16, I was working on the premise that each group of 4 in a line should add up to 34. These groups add up to 34 regardless of if you go in rows or columns:

1  16   8   9
15  2  10  7
14  3  11  6
4  13   5  12

Given that there are 8 straight lines on the star, these seem to be the 8 groups of numbers (4 rows and 4 columns) that will form the answer. It's a start...

ETA: They probably need to be rearranged so that the diagonals add up to 34 too. Working on that. Somewhere Keith_J is pointing at us and laughing.

It's a trick.  It's a trap.

The star is actually a three dimensional figure.  The image above is a projection in which it appears there are four numbers on each line.  In fact, there are only three.  Which three cannot be determined by looking at this projection.

The line total must be 34.

The summation of all numbers is 136.  Each number gets used exactly twice.  Therefore, the total of all lines is 272.  If all lines are the same, 272/8 = 34.

But as mentioned, the inner and outer rings can be moved and there's more than one solution.  Alternatively, you can "rotate" all numbers over the entire puzzle.  Any of those spaces could be "1", and there's no way to know for sure.

Therefore, you have to play Scrabble with 16 letters to see what possible phrases you could be working with to start, then try to fit the numbers into those spaces to confirm.

And I suck at Scrabble, so I'm not doing it.

Do you think
a puzzle like this one is a
good idea? Or does a
turn at this just muddle up the
daily things we have to think about?

I got as far as getting those numbers too, then I looked at the star and....stopped caring. interested in the answer though.
