It's the UK's equivalent of the CIA. On an irregular basis, they change the 'challenge'. They typically draw on a wide scope of knowledge, most of which an engineer will have at hand.
It can be challenging. I solved one a couple of years ago. It took 24 hours. Not 1hr/day for 24 days; 24 straight hours without sleep.
That's why I hate puzzles.

Try to dig up a copy... There are 120 puzzles and the first 30 are a cakewalk... then they start to get difficult... guaranteed to bring hours of frustration.

I got so addicted to The Incredible Machine" a couple of years ago. I would stay up all night playing it for hours on end. I finally uninstalled it from my machine and threw the disc away. I went through withdrawels for weeks after that. It is a great game for kids also.

I found this website once:
http://community.engineering.com/puzzler/
and return to it occasionally to attempt again but haven't yet figured it out.
Does anyone know the solution?

As far as pc games, I'm hooked on Battlefield 2142 (it has an engineer class).

There will also be a surcharge for emotional and mental distress caused by being stuck on the level I'm on.

As you admit that you have not completed the task, I cannot accept responsibility for compensation.
Emotional and mental distress?? My dad always told me those build character -- so maybe I should be receiving payment for helping you become a better person.

jobiewan99, think dates and reread the clues.
YoungTurk/Jistre, here's a subtle clue:
-Things haven’t always gone right for engineers.
-Sometimes they have worked out fine.
-Other times they’ve quit before they even got a chance.
After receiving a hint on Lithuania, I got the math problem without even cheating. Then I had a relapse on the last one. But it was fun anyway.
Now I'm off to http://www.simplecodeworks.com/covert/
