This book considers the same mathematical problem (a total of 16 problems) from various perspectives and gives different solutions.
The 16 questions include: halve a cake, design a clock face, find the diameter of the earth, list things that violate the rules, draw a heart-shaped image, list questions with an answer of 1, trisect an angle, and prove it with the Last Theorem Some boring questions, finding pi, enumerating phenomena with irrational probabilities, finding approximate integers, enumerating "sick mathematics", proving 1=2, enumerating incredible figures, freeing up rooms in the fully occupied infinite hotel, List extremely large numbers.
These mathematical problems are all interesting, and some of them are classic problems. For example, the book gives 10 different answers to how to divide a cake into three equal parts, along with corresponding difficulty coefficients and ideas. This kind of thinking training method is of great benefit to improving mathematical thinking and comprehensive application ability.
