<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: ">My daughter Lilly can&#8217;t get enough Maths Puzzles.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;"> She found math difficult. </span></p>
<p>Math was boring, she struggled to understand the concepts of mathematics.</p>
<p>For Lilly Math was just hard work.</p>
<p>It all changed when Lilly discovered the secret of mastering maths. As soon as she learnt math is fun.</p>
<p>My girls enjoy doing math puzzles because there fun and they help with their Maths. Since they started doing math puzzles, they have become more confident in doing their math homework. Math is fun now.  <strong><span> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong>When was the last time you stretched the old grey matter?</strong><br />
Math Puzzles, Give Your Mind a Workout.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: ">One of my daughter’s favourite Math Puzzles collections was written 92 years ago, by Henry Ernest Dudeney, Amusements of Mathematics. Henry Ernest Dudeney created math puzzles, which will boggle your mind and bend your brain.</span></p>
<p>She constantly telling me, “Henry Dudeney, is a legend, and his math puzzles, rock”. He specialized in logic puzzles and math maths. One of his best know collections of math puzzles, is his book, Amusements in Mathematics, written in 1917. Even the Critics of the day hail it as “intriguing” and “witty.”</p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;"><em>&#8220;A good puzzle should demand the exercise of our best wit and ingenuity, and although a knowledge of mathematics and of logic are often of great service in the solution of these things, yet it sometimes happens that a kind of natural cunning and sagacity is of considerable value.&#8221; </em></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;" align="right"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-family: ">Henry Ernest Dudeney </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: ">Lilly wanted her own copy of Amusements in Mathematics.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;"> We managed to find an old copy of Amusements in Mathematics. Although, she loved the challenging math puzzles, she found the original layout frustrating, because she couldn’t easily find the solutions. And the small print made it hard to read. </span></p>
<p>This became our labour of love, taking 7 months, reproducing Amusements in Mathematics. You’ll now find all the Math Puzzles cross referenced with their solutions and indexed. Not only did we have to scan every page.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: ">We also      redigitised 436 pictures, to keep the old world feel<strong> </strong></span></span></li>

<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: ">Amusements      in Mathematics now stands at 567 pages</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="font-family: ">Stuffed      fill of Logic Puzzles, Math Puzzles, Mind Puzzles and Number Puzzle which      will boost your brain power.</span></strong></span></li>

These pitfalls could add a twist to the puzzle, giving it a degree of complexity and difficulty.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;"><strong>Are you up to the challenge?<br />
</strong>You’ll be tempted to beat them, to overcome the challenge and be victorious. Will your competitive spirit, be able to satisfy your curiosity, amongst the twists and turns.</span></p>
<p>According to Dudeney, his puzzles could be quite challenging and some of the problems were, in his words, “very hard nuts indeed.” His more challenging math puzzles, he explained, were advanced enough to warrant the attention of even expert mathematicians. And in some cases, even these expert mathematicians were left scratching their heads over some of Dudeney’s math brain teasers.</p>
<p>You don’t have to be a math whiz to tackle these math puzzles, it’s just a great way to boost your brain power.  <strong></strong></p>

He said that essentially we had to solve puzzles, that it was a drive, a need, a necessity of life. He believed that solving puzzles was just a matter of employing our reasoning facilities. Mental hospitals, Dudeney said, were built specifically for the “unfortunate” people who are unable to solve puzzles.</span></p>
