THE RAVENS HAT - JONAS PETERS NICOLAI MEINSHAUS...

Games that show how mathematics can solve the apparently unsolvable. This book presents a
series of engaging games that seem unsolvable--but can be solved when they are translated into
mathematical terms. How can players find their ID cards when the cards are distributed randomly
among twenty boxes? By applying the theory of permutations. How can a player guess the color of
her own hat when she can only see other players' hats? Hamming codes  which are used in
communication technologies. Like magic  mathematics solves the apparently unsolvable. The games
allow readers  including university students or anyone with high school-level math  to
experience the joy of mathematical discovery.
