Futility Closet » The Impossible Puzzle

Sunday 24 September 23:05:46 UTC 2017

Dutch mathematician Hans Freudenthal proposed this puzzle in 1969 — at first it appears impossible because so little information is given. X and Y are two different whole numbers greater than 1.

Weird Universe » Karen Eland – Coffee Artist
