I am about to coin the word 'conundrous' because I needed it (and I think it deserves a place in the dictionary)!
I would like comments on what you think about that (in the context of a serious article, or I wouldn't have to ask), but the question is as stated — if you can supply one or more adjectives that are synonymous with such an adjective, that's the answer for me. :)
If there are none, I will be happy to accept close synonyms — the Merriam-Webster definition (of the noun) is here: conundrum
I'm after the "difficult problem" (but not the "pun") synonymity. It's used to describe a word from an ancient text which is seemingly not in the dictionaries; hard to find information about.
There's enigmatic, but it's just a mystery for the moment; it's not something that is by definition mysterious.
There's elusive, but I think that carries the connotation of forever escaping one's reach.
Answer
puzzling, complex, confusing, complicated, involved, hard, taxing, difficult, strange, weird, mysterious, baffling, bewildering, intricate, enigmatic, mystifying, inexplicable, thorny, paradoxical, unaccountable, knotty, labyrinthine
