Ingeniously designed mathematical riddles to delight armchair and experienced mathematicians alike. In The Price of Cake, brothers Clément and Guillaume Deslandes have assembled a uniquely rich and accessible collection of mathematical riddles, organised by difficulty and accompanied by unique hand-drawn illustrations. The challenges are exceptional in both their range and their precision.

While any student will be thrilled to encounter fresh presentations of classic conundrums such as Simpson's Paradox, Hilbert's Infinite Hotel, Monty Hall's Paradox, and Seven Bridges Of Königsberg, seasoned puzzlers will also appreciate challenging original problems.

The Deslandes' lucid and elegant solutions offer new insights, as they seamlessly connect the skills applied in each problem to broader theoretical revelations. To aid you on this journey, the authors provide hints to each puzzle, detailed proofs and solutions, and a series of refresher tutorials to revisit important concepts that are used to arrive at those answers. Entertaining and rigorous in equal measure, The Price of Cake is bound to captivate mathematics enthusiasts and students of all levels.
