Perplexing Pattern Problems & Other Puzzles

From the designs on Mondrian’s paintings to the elegant organization of mathematical sequences, these puzzles all involve the wonderful world of patterns. Some use colors, others feature letters, and still more focus on shapes, but all offer plenty of entertainment. Suppose you have a supply of beads in red, green, and yellow, and are making them into necklaces that consist of five beads each. If each necklace has two beads of one color, two of a second, and one of a third, how many distinct necklaces can you create? Or, for another kind of pattern, try solving anagrams and deciphering cryptograms to unearth secret messages. Fold ten flaps into a five-by-five square to form a pinwheel pattern. Every problem is intriguing.

Nabokov and Nietzsche Problems and Perspectives

Awarded the Jane Grayson Prize by the International Vladimir Nabokov Society Shortlisted for The European Society for the Study of English (ESSE) Book Award Nabokov and Nietzsche: Problems and Perspectives addresses the many knotted issues in the work of Vladimir Nabokov – Lolita’s moral stance, Pnin’s relationship with memory, Pale Fire’s ambiguous internal authorship – that often frustrate interpretation. It does so by arguing that the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, as both a conceptual instrument and a largely unnoticed influence on Nabokov himself, can help to untie some of these knots. The study addresses the fundamental problems in Nabokov’s writing that make his work perplexing, mysterious and frequently uneasy rather than simply focusing on the literary puzzles and games that, although inherent, do not necessarily define his body of work. Michael Rodgers shows that Nietzsche’s philosophy provides new, but not always palatable, perspectives in order to negotiate interpretative impasses, and that the uneasy aspects of Nabokov’s work offer the reader manifold rewards.

Emotions Problems and Promise for Human Flourishing


Free Download Barbara J. McClure, "Emotions: Problems and Promise for Human Flourishing"
English | ISBN: 1602583293 | 2019 | 365 pages | AZW3 | 1033 KB
Emotions are two-sided. They contain deep truths about what it means to be human, but they also deceive, mislead, and manipulate. They are celebrated for the insights they provide, but they also are denied, repressed, and dismissed. Though many institutions recognize and study the power of emotion, its potential has yet to be fully realized.

Cunning Combination Problems & Other Puzzles


Free Download Ivan Moscovich, "Cunning Combination Problems & Other Puzzles "
English | ISBN: 1402723466 | 2005 | 128 pages | PDF | 10 MB
There’s magic in these brainteasers. Most of them play variations on the magic square, among the oldest puzzles that exist. These cubes or other shapes are made up of groups of cells, each cell containing one of a set of numbers. The set generally corresponds with the number of cells, so, for example, a five-by-five magic square would contain numbers from 1 to 25. The trick: the sum of the numbers in any one row or column (and sometimes diagonal) must be the same. It’s pure mathematical beauty. Examine and attempt to figure out the workings of a "diabolic" version created by Dürer, an early variation by Lo-Shu, and variants that use colors, different shapes, and hinged tiles.
