“This is a collection of arithmetical problems and tricks that have been assembled to both instruct and amuse. A typical example involves determining the total number of descendants of one sow in a twelve-year period (given such fundamental facts as the size of the sow’s litter, how often she is able to reproduce, etc.)” (Tomash & Williams).
