Dodgson) also excelled as a mathematician and inventor of puzzles. Toward the end of his life, Carroll worked on a book of mathematical puzzles and games but died before it was completed. This book is a new compilation of Carroll's surviving puzzles and games, assembled and edited by Edward Wakeling, a Lewis Carroll scholar and writer on mathematics. Included are a substantial number of problems that Carroll had intended for his collection.Among the problems - many published here for the first time - are these baffling brain teasers: Cakes in a Row; Alice's Multiplication Tables; Looking-Glass Time; Four Brothers and a Monkey; Hidden Names; Handicaps; Diverse Doublets; Mischmasch; Arithmetical Croquet; Square Numbers; A Sticky Problem; Wise Eyes; Painting Cubes; Two Clocks; An Amazing Maze; The Number Forty-Two; and 26 others.In addition to Carroll's original mathematical inventions and games, the editor has supplied a few original problems of his own. Some hints and solutions are also provided. Enhanced with some of John Tenniel's famous illustrations, this volume is a delightful double treat for any puzzle enthusiast or lover of the \"Alice\" books.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091728462112,"sku":"NEW0486269221","price":10.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/lewis-carrolls-games-and-puzzles-dover-math-games-puzzles-0486269221","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
