This book was on display in Deichman main public library in Oslo and contains 100 difficult mathematical problems that can be solved without advanced mathematics. To my surprise, I found myself struggling problem one; Given three points in a plane, not all on the same straight line. How many straight lines can be drawn equidistant to the three points?
Took it home and worked through many of the problems with my eldest to great joy for the two of us. There was s red thread running through many of the problems and the solutions were excellent, meaning it got more intuitive over time, not less.
The book was originally published in the Soviet Union in 1954. When reading this, much of the style made a lot more sense. The book is a little gem. Loved it!
