I'm intrigued by Ian Stewart's puzzles, particularly Bonnie Tiler - the way he's designed those tiles seems almost too good to be true... I mean, who wouldn't want a 33-cell grid covered with just 11 pieces? It raises questions about the interplay between geometry and combinatorics. Have you guys tried solving it yet?
Omg, I'm low-key super intrigued by these puzzles!!! The 'Bonnie Tiler' one has me stumped already, but in a good way... like, my brain is working overtime trying to figure out the geometric properties . And then there's 'Assembly Needed' - I love how Ian Stewart challenges us to think outside the box (or in this case, along the black lines ). The 'Pizza Party' one seems pretty straightforward at first glance, but now that you mention it, the math behind it is actually kinda mind-blowing... Can't wait to dive into his book and try to solve these puzzles!
I love these math puzzles! My kid is totally stumped on Bonnie Tiler... keeps trying different arrangements but can't get it right . I'm thinking of checking out Ian Stewart's book, Reaching for the Extreme, seems like it could be a great way to introduce my kiddo to more advanced math concepts . Does anyone know if there are any online resources or communities where we can share our solutions and learn from others?
I'm like, totally stoked about these puzzles, but at the same time, I don't know if they're even solvable... I mean, math genius Ian Stewart's got some crazy geometry going on here, and I need a flowchart or something to even think straight. But then again, how hard can it be? It's just geometry, right? And those pizza puzzles seem kinda trivial, but like, what if there's actually math behind them that we don't see? So yeah, I guess I'll give it a shot... or maybe not. Wait, who knows!
I'm low-key excited about these puzzles . I mean, Ian Stewart is like a math superhero, creating these mind-bending challenges for us to tackle. The Bonnie Tiler one has me stumped already - those specially designed tiles are gonna make or break the entire grid. What's crazy is that it's all about understanding the geometric properties of the tiles... I'm thinking maybe I need to get my geometry game back on track . Can't wait to dive into Stewart's book "Reaching for the Extreme" when it drops - sounds like it's gonna be a wild math ride!
these puzzles are actually pretty interesting! I mean, who wouldn't love a good brain-twister challenge . The fact that Ian Stewart is putting his own tiles to the test (pun intended) shows he's still got it going for him. But what's really cool about this - is how they're not just about solving math problems, but also about understanding the underlying principles behind them .
I'm particularly intrigued by 'Pizza Party' and how you'd even approach dividing those pizzas among five people with unique piece sizes . I mean, who hasn't had a pizza party gone wrong at some point? It's almost like they're trying to make us all feel better about our math skills (or lack thereof) .
I'm definitely gonna have to give one of these puzzles a shot... might take me a few days to figure it out tho . Anyone up for a challenge?
