Basic Definition
A Conundrum is a puzzling question. In one variety of conundra (the unusual plural reflects the word's Latin origin), the question is posed as a riddle and the answer is or involves a pun. More broadly, a conundrum is any problem where the answer is very complex, possibly unsolvable without deep investigation. A mystery or paradox can often be phrased as a conundrum.
