Publisher's Synopsis
Stump your friends and family!
Who knew that math could be so cool? Crammed with games, puzzles, and trivia, the Mathematical And Logic Puzzles Book puts the fun back into playing with numbers!
If you have any fear of math--or are just tired of sitting in a classroom-- this book provides hours of entertainment. You'll get so caught up in the activities, you won't even know you're learning!
This book provides you with puzzles in counting, geometry, and probability and game theory, such as:
- What is a better fit: a square peg in a round hole, or a round peg in a square hole?
- Your music player seems to be playing the same songs over again. Is there something wrong with the shuffle feature, or might the songs be playing randomly?
- You have 100 dimes, and I have 99 pennies. At the same time, we will toss our coins in the air and let them fall on the floor. Then we meticulously count the outcomes of our tosses. You win if you show more heads than I do. What's the probability that you will win?
And so much more!
