For that to be possible, then that something that God created would have to be different/separate from God. I do not believe it works that way. A puzzle made by God would simply be a manifestation of God and could not/would not be any different, nor larger, nor smaller, nor more complex, nor less simple.

Since I do not consider the gods to be omniscient (nor omnipotent, nor omnipresent, nor any of the other baggage that monotheism inherited from philosophical speculation), I can't bite on that one.
I do not think the gods created us, any more than they created themselves. That we may puzzle them does not strike me as a surprising thing, therefore.

Well, the first thing that comes to my mind is: what would be the point? I tend to agree with Chaitanyananda. I think there is a state of Oneness, and we only imagine that we (or anything else) could be separate from it. |

You will find that Perfection is simple
It needs no complication because it simply is Perfect. Taken from the Introduction to ACIM: This is a course in miracles. 2 It is a required course. 3 Only the time you take it is voluntary. 4 Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. 5 It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time. 6 The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. 7 It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance. 8 The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite. T-in.2. This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way: 2 Nothing real can be threatened. 3 Nothing unreal exists. 4 Herein lies the peace of God. |

The problems posed in the OP sound a lot like the ones posed by medieval scholasticism..
Can God make two hills without an intervening valley.. How many angels can stand on the point of a pin.. What happens when a mouse eats a consecrated host? and other hallowed enigmas.. -Art

What if that's us?
"What if that's us?" - Well, even if he didn't intend to he seems to have succeeded.
