In this recreative piece of work, we present Gauss' calendar formula with some examples to demonstrate how it is applied. Then, based on it, we give a formula for determining dates of particular week days of a given month, and some examples are also

This paper considers some computational issues related to the problem of the coupon collector behavior. In addition, we propose a simulation algorithm to find the solution to the problem, where we present as a numerical illustration an album of stick

This recreational mathematics article shows that the game of Snakes and Ladders is intransitive: square 69 has a winning edge over 79, which in turn beats 73, which beats 69. Analysis of the game is a nice illustration of Markov chains, simulations o

The Collatz conjecture is a famous math problem that was introduced by Lothar Collatz in 1937, and nobody has yet succeeded in proving or disproving it. In this article, I will analyze this problem with a new approach and I will discuss my important

The article explores a simple yet interesting geometric problem: how to fold a notebook page so it is the most visible when the notebook is closed (i.e., as a bookmark). We start with a square page, then proceed to the rectangular page. When an addit

This is a theoretical and computational strategy exploration of the visually attractive game IQ-Link. Not all games which are visually appealing are worthy of your time as a puzzlist. This analysis gives a would-be addict some idea of what type of ga

In this expository paper, we show how to use the Douglas-Rachford algorithm as a successful heuristic for finding magic squares. The Douglas-Rachford algorithm is an iterative projection method for solving feasibility problems. Although its convergen

A group of students in 7-9 grades are inventing combinatorial impartial games. The games are played on graphs, piles, and grids. We found winning positions, optimal strategies, and other interesting facts about the games.

Peg solitaire is an old puzzle with a 300 year history. We consider two ways a computer can be utilized to find interesting peg solitaire puzzles. It is common for a peg solitaire puzzle to begin from a symmetric board position, we have computed solv
