You will find math puzzles everywhere; in pizzas, mirrors, bicycles, candy, ice creams; even in a pirate's treasure and ancient pyramid. Start simple: imagine you have got six pink socks and six yellow socks in a drawer. How many must you take out to get a pair? Then suppose you've got six pairs of pink gloves and six pair of yellow ones. Now how may do you have to take out to get a pair? Look carefully, the question's harder than you think! You will be burning up those brain cells in no time and challenging all your friends to a game of wits.
