    Here's a little brain work out for y'all...
    Alternate between playing in 10/16, 7/16 and 16/16 time. Play 10/16 one bar, then 7/16 one bar etc. continiously.

    You're only allowed to play 16ths and 16th pauses.
    You're only allowed to use the same note four times in a row (that goes for pauses as well) in one bar. Try emphazing the 1st note of each 16th note group of 4 and putting extra emphazis on the first 16th note of the bar.

    Start out at about 40bpm and gradually increace the tempo.

    This is wacky brain gymnastics cuz you got to count like crazy and think where to play harder/softer. I know it's not really useful in actual playing, but it can get pretty fun, especially when you get it up to speed.

    Here's a real brain teaser that everyone can follow: A cowboy rides into a small town on Tuesday, spends one night and rides out, also on Tuesday. How is this possible?
