My first "number" puzzle. As the daughter of a mathematician, I got a lot of these types of games!

About Me
- Jean Hibben
- Lake Mathews (Perris), CA, United States
- Born in Illinois, I grew up in Wilmette, a northern suburb of Chicago. I have one sibling, an older brother. I am married, for the 2nd time now, to Butch & got 4 children in the deal. They have gone on to make me grandmother 25 times over & great-grandmother to over 20!. After many years working in industry, I got my bachelors and masters degrees in speech communication, & was a professor in that field for 13 years. I retired in 2001 & returned to school & got my doctorate in folklore. Now I meld my two interests - folklore & genealogy - & add my teaching background, resulting in my current profession: speaker/author/entertainer of genealogically-related topics. I play many folk instruments, but my preference is guitar, which I have been playing since 1963. I write the "Aunty Jeff" column for the Informer, newsletter of the Jefferson County NY Gen. Soc. I work in partnership with Gena Philibert-Ortega & Sara Cochran as Genealogy Journeys® where we focus on educating folks about Social History. More about that: genaandjean.blogspot.com.

My grandmother had a lot of these kinds of puzzles on the window ledge in her dining room. I used to play with them when I stayed at her place. Perhaps that's why I did degrees in mathematics at university!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nostalgia rush!
What a great teaching tool! And so lucky that you liked it! When we come, you will have to show me how you play it.
