Welcome to the Math Puzzle Wiki
This is a collection of my favorite puzzles and brain teasers which contain some mathematical content. Most every puzzle here is taken from somewhere else, usually without express permission. When I can, I'll credit the source of the puzzle, but most come from "folklore" and have been retold many times by many people.
