think first before going in search of formulas

Mathematic puzzles

When we get a math puzzle, what’s the first thing we do?
We lose ourselves in search of formulas, logarithms etc. but we should know that most of the mathematical puzzles are based on simple logic which doesn’t need any complex formula or equation. We should think like an LP school child. There’s no need to think too much at the beginning itself.
Every puzzle demands mainly 3 steps:

1. Analyze the puzzle and understand it.
2. Use our logic.
3. Think wisely.

Don’t hand over your maths & memory skills to technology!!

influence of technology over memory.

don’t get yourself trapped!

There was a time the data were stored in our memory than in computer memory. Only for future reference and transferring knowledge to future generation we wrote down it on paper. We used to remember phone numbers, bank account details, relation with the distant relatives, route maps and everything we needed. I still have the entries of many of my friends’ land phone numbers in my memory that I dialled from our land phone during my school days. However now I don’t have any of my colleagues’ phone numbers, everything resides in my phone memory, computer and email inbox. Now a days people are walking with pocket computers (iphones, ipads etc.) and no one is interested in storing/copying information to their brain, but to artificial storage devices. Instead of noting down data we’re more interested in bookmarking links.
