Mystifying Mathematical Puzzles by Joseph S. Madachy

Mystifying Mathematical Puzzles by Joseph S. MadachyThis book was pretty disappointing. From the description, I thought it would be a book of puzzles for the reader to solve. Unfortunately, 3/4 of the book was descriptions on how famous puzzles have been solved. For someone who is more interested in the explantions, this would be a good book. If, like me, you are more interested in being the solver, I would skip it. Also good to know, this book was published first in 1966 so some of the puzzles are a little dated.

Two stars
This book comes out May 16
