Description
You have been told that mathematics is a vast galaxy, that it sprawls beyond human cognizability, that the last person to grasp even half of its scope was Poincaré, now dead for a century. Lies, all lies! Math is a civilizational wrestling match against a handful of elementary puzzles. Nothing more. I shall humbly introduce these puzzles; the rest of mathematics is left as an exercise for the listener.
