We propose a set of questions on the dynamics of H\'enon maps from the real, complex, algebraic and arithmetic points of view.

We discuss some old common knowledge puzzles and introduce a lot of new common knowledge puzzles.

This very preliminary text is related to ``Algorithms on Texts'', also called ``Algorithmic Stringology''. It is an extension of the book ``125 Problems in Text Algorithms'' providing, in the same compact style, more problems with…
