Puzzles are an important part of many computer games. Cartridge-based action puzzle gamse, CD-ROM puzzle anthologies, adventure game, and educational game all need good puzzles.

  • Amusements in Mathematics, by Henry Ernest Dudeney
    Transcribers note: Many of the puzzles in this book assume a familiarity with the currency of Great Britain in the early 1900s. As this is likely not common knowledge for those outside Britain (and possibly many within,) I am including a chart of relative values. The most common units used were: the Penny, abbreviated: d. (from the Roman penny, denarius) the Shilling, abbreviated: s. the Pound, abbreviated: £ There was 12 Pennies to a Shilling and 20 Shillings to a Pound, so there was 240 Pennies in a Pound. To further complicate things, there were many coins which were various fractional values of Pennies, Shillings or Pounds. Farthing ¼d. Half-penny ½d. Penny 1d. Three-penny 3d. Sixpence (or tanner) 6d. Shilling (or bob) 1s. Florin or two shilling piece 2s. Half-crown (or half-dollar) 2s. 6d. Double-florin 4s. Crown (or dollar) 5s. Half-Sovereign 10s. Sovereign (or Pound) £1 or 20s. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but it should be adequate to solve the puzzles in this book. AMUSEMENTS IN MATHEMATICS by HENRY ERNEST DUDENEY In Mathematicks he was greater Than Tycho Brahe or Erra Pater: For he, by geometrick scale, Could take the size of pots of ale; Resolve, by sines and tangents, straight, If bread or butter wanted weight; And wisely tell what hour o' th' day The clock does strike by algebra. BUTLER'S Hudibras . 1917 PREFACE Pg v In issuing this volume of my Mathematical Puzzles, of which some have appeared in periodicals and others are given here for the first time, I must acknowledge the encouragement that I have received from many unknown correspondents, at home and abroad, who have expressed a desire to have the problems in a collected form, with some of the solutions given at greater length than is possible in magazines and newspapers.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 087 631 SE 017 302 AUTHOR Schaaf, William L. TITLE A Bibliography of Recreational Mathematics, Volume 3. INSTITUTION National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Inc., Washington, D.C. PUB DATE 73 NOTE 187p. AVAILABLE FROM National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 1906 Association Drive, Reston, Virginia 22091 EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC Not Available from EDRS. DESCRIPTORS *Annotated Bibliographies; Classroom Games; *Games; Geometric Concepts; Instructional Materials; *Literature Guides; Literature Reviews; *Mathematical Enrichment; *Mathematics Education; Number Concepts; Probability; Reference Books ABSTRACT This book is a partially annotated bibliography of books, articles and periodicals concerned with mathematical games, puzzles, tricks, amusements, and paradoxes. Because the literature in recreational mathematics has proliferated to amazing proportions since Volume 2 of this series (ED 040 874), Volume 3 is more than just an updating of the earlier monographs. The overall organization of the book has been retained, although there has been a notable rearrangement of subtopics in the interest of economy and clarity. Major changes include (1) the addition of two new sections on classroom games and recreational activities which will be quite useful for teachers; (2)a chronological synopsis of Martin Gardner's popular column in Scientific American; and (3)a glossary of terms related to recreational mathematics. The main topic headings are: Arithmetic Recreations; Number Theory as Recreation; Geometric Recreations; Topological
