The puzzles aren't fun at all. Like you said, they're basically "write a parser + complete a tedious word problem." They require substantial time investment for little creative reward, it's basically masochism.

Perl Advent Calendar is my jam.

I dunno, some of them are fun. The ship navigation one this year was fun to solve, as was the gameboy emulator one.
