a problem for which it is hard to find the answer...
brainteaser (also teaser) = a problem for which it is hard to find the answer, especially one which people enjoy trying to solve as a game. eg The paper publishes two brainteasers every Saturday.

伤脑筋
Brainteaser 根本上带有一点调皮，挑逗的意思。
直译难题或迷不能带出它调皮的意味。

: 如果要带调皮，那"脑力急转弯"会不会好一点???

闹了及转弯感觉上是名词，而 brainteaser 在上边的文字里比较接近形容词。
