Many philosophical problems have origins in puzzles and paradoxes. One of the most famous is Zeno's paradox of motion. Among others are paradox of the heap (Sorties paradox), Newcomb's puzzle (puzzle about rational decision making), Problem of the Many (problem about material objects), and Liar paradox (paradox for semantics).
