Can a Christian escape from a lion? How quickly can a rumour
spread? Can you fool an airline into accepting oversize baggage?
Recreational mathematics is full of frivolous questions where the
mathematician's art can be brought to bear. But play often has a
purpose. In mathematics, it can sharpen skills, provide amusement,
or simply surprise, and books of problems have been the
stock-in-trade of mathematicians for centuries. This collection is
designed to be sipped from, rather than consumed in one sitting.
The questions range in difficulty: the most challenging offer a
glimpse of deep results that engage mathematicians today; even the
easiest prompt readers to think about mathematics. All come with
solutions, many with hints, and most with illustrations. Whether
you are an expert, or a beginner or an amateur mathematician, this
book will delight for a lifetime.
