Onko Tonko : Puzzles For the Math Mentalist

By: By Surajit Basu

This is a collection of puzzles requiring in most cases – high school math. The purpose is not necessarily to solve these problems, but to get you to think about different types of math puzzles. Many of the puzzles are introductions to different areas of math. Most of these puzzles can be done mentally. If you have to write, expect to write no more than a page. Pictures are useful.

“There are three planes”, said Onko, “which take off simultaneously - from Bangalore, Athens, and New York.” “Each plane goes 500 km north, then 500 km east, then 500 km south, and then 500 km west.” “Which plane is closest to its starting point?”, said Onko with a smile.

Who Are You? : Essential Questions for Hitchhikers on the Road of ...

By: by Ph.D. John Gregory Cottone

Like a good psychotherapy session, WHO ARE YOU? poses essential questions - about the psychology of human behavior, politics, science, metaphysics, and the mysteries of God - without imposing dogmatic answers. It can be used as a meditation companion, a catalyst for group discussion, a personal mirror for honest glimpses at the soul and tool for self-growth.

In Zen circles it is often said that a teacher’s finger, pointing at the moon, should not be confused with the moon itself. The implication is that no lesson on Truth, no matter how profound, could ever be a suitable substitute for Truth itself. Zen is a tradition that prioritizes personal experience above all else – hence, the emphasis on meditation as a teacher par excellence. As such, students are cautioned to be wary of lessons taught by another, regardless of how...

Amuzaj Rakontoj

By: By Pejno Simono

Amuzaj Rakontoj. Jen - pri duviva kato, pri nigra mono, pri hontdevanta fierulo, pri trinkaĵoj por varmega tago, pri strangaj procesioj, pri direktoro sendirekta, pri efikoj de blovado, pri profeto kaj profito, pri flugtrejnado de anĝeloj, pri vojaĝo al Esperantopolo.

Ŝtopilo estis la nomo de la ĥemiinstruisto. Memkompreneble jen ne lia ĝusta nomo, sed tio ne speciale interesu. Ĉiuj nomis lin Ŝtopilo, iam eĉ li sin mem. Ŝtopilo estis iomete dikeca bonhumora fraŭlo. Li certe jam estis pasinta sian vivan apogeon kaj fakte laŭ la firma opinio de la plimulto de siaj klasanoj li estis tute senseksa. Pro tio eble kelkaj krizaj butonoj de lia pantalonfendo regule troviĝis en malfermita stato, fenomeno, kiu estis interrompita nur dum la mallo...
