Title: great collection of puzzles and historical facts
Review: I'm generally very critical about current math and puzzle books. I don't want to brag, but at last count, I owned some 150 math/puzzle books. In other words, I think can say that I've pretty much seen them all...Well, this book is one of my favorites! Yes this book has some old chestnuts, but the majority of the problems are quite original and only difficult enough to be entertaining. It's also full of interesting historical facts, all related to math of course.Up until now, I've generally stayed away from Pappas books. I find them a bit too elementary, but this one, I'll keep.Thanks Theoni for a fine book.
