“Ben Orlin is such an interesting thinker, he is a wonderful mix of informed, funny and creative. This book is a delight, pages and pages of engaging math games. I will carry this with me everywhere, and my mathematical thinking will be better because of it.”

"Mathematicians keep insisting that math is fun, but most people who have taken a math class might be skeptical.
