EASIER THAN YOU THINK...

Puzzles and Humour

I like mathematical puzzles (and mathematical humour).

They provide intellectual challenges and mental stimulation. They also help the puzzler to learn and develop good problem-solving techniques. These techniques can sometimes be used when solving strategy problems in real life and can certainly be used in other mathematical pursuits. I have hundreds, and possibly thousands, of puzzles to share with you. This represents a small start!

I have decided to bundle them in groups of twenty:

CCM Puzzle Collection #001 ~ Puzzles 001-020

  • Three Switches and a Light
  • A Knockout Tennis Competition
  • Covering a Modified Chessboard With Dominoes
  • Completing a Tour of Towns
  • Packing Eight Numerals Into Eight Squares
  • Counting the Number of Pathways to a Given Place
  • A Matter of Symmetry
  • Which Shape is MOST Different?
  • Riding a Falling Ladder
  • Divide an Obtuse-Angled Triangle into Seven Acute-Angled Triangles
  • Divide a Square into Ten Acute-Angled Triangles

 

It took me a long time to find the right tutor who actually helped and more importantly cared about me and my marks. I would recommend Graeme enough. My maths marks improved dramatically with his help and I couldn’t have done it without him.
