Sumario:The article presents several puzzles related to metaphysics including beautiful holes, the carnibal ride of recombination, and the world enough without time. It is stated that the beautiful holes puzzle suggests a contradiction to some theories of artworks while encouraging the extrinsic theory of shape properties. The carnival ride of recombination puzzle proposes that liberal views about possible spacetime structures and generous recombination principles can leave people with lots of room but nowhere to go. Furthermore, the world enough without time puzzle distinguish the temporal from the non-temporal things.
