Making your downtime productive

This book is a solution to a difficult outstanding problem in mathematics. Namely, how does one remain productive during toilet time? At 6" by 4", it is small enough to fit on almost any shelf, and since it is cut to the shape of a toilet and has images of a toilet on the covers, it matches the other furnishings in the room. Inside, you will find a series of puzzles, all of which are doable within the expected time frame, provided you hit on the appropriate initial step. Some are mazes, others rearranging or eliminating items and a few cannot be placed in a broad category. I tried all the problems and was stubborn enough to avoid looking at the solution, which is always provided, even when I had no idea how to solve it. That happened quite frequently, although there were some that only took a few seconds to solve. A new way to describe "essential reading material", this book of challenges to be solved during your down time Published in the recreational mathematics e-mail newsletter, reprinted with permission.
