What is a Puzzle? Puzzled-Arent you?
Defined as a game or problem , i have it to be just not something which provokes your thoughts but something which becomes mind boggling or even ends up as a mind game!
Generally meant to provide entertainment they can be pretty painful as you are left wondering-Right or wrong? and can assume serious mathematical or algorithmic forms.
The Genre multiplies -no longer a picture , lateral or crossword puzzle- The Old guys keep Alzheimer away with a daily Sudoku or Hidato. May the tribe of puzzles multiply and keep our world young, healthy and happy!

"M" is the 13th alphabet. It is derived from the  Phoenician'm".  it is pronounced as 'em'. among Roman numerals it represents 1000. if written after a particular amount of currency it would imply millions. As part of gender indication it means "male".
Ian Fleming made M a well known character-the boss of 007 James Bond
