Puzzles and Recreational Mathematics Sample Clauses

Puzzles and Recreational Mathematics. ‌ It is useful to distinguish another subclass of problems called puzzles. A puzzle is a particular type of problem that usually requires little prior mathematical knowledge. There have been attempts to define puzzles, for instance as tasks requiring ‘lateral thinking’ (Xx Xxxx, 1971). Xxxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxxx (2008) suggest that the nature of an (educational) puzzle is encapsulated by four criteria: generality (explaining some universal mathematical problem- solving principle), simplicity, a ‘Eureka’ factor and an entertainment factor. To us, a puzzle is a question that is free-standing (requiring little or no prior knowledge), lightweight (lacking gravitas and without ramifications), and needing ingenuity to solve it. Frequently, such ingenuity will be in the form of a trick or sudden insight, providing the Eureka factor mentioned by Xxxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxxx (2008). A few examples will show what we mean by a puzzle – the first has a laborious solution involving an infinite series, and an instant solution when ‘the xxxxx drops’ (the ‘Eureka!’ moment).
