Mathematics Puzzle

Japanese: 数学パズル - すうがくぱずる
Mathematics Puzzle
A mathematical puzzle is a general term for any puzzle that has some mathematical aspect. Usually, the subject matter is mathematical, the solution is mathematical, or the answer is mathematical, but there are many other types of mathematical puzzles, such as matchstick puzzles and maze puzzles. The characteristic of a mathematical puzzle is that anyone can easily tackle it without any prior knowledge, and it serves as a form of mental recreation that can easily be enjoyed while you are working on it. This is common to all puzzles, and can also be said for crossword puzzles and jigsaw puzzles.

Japanese:
数学的な側面を多少でももったパズルを総称して,数学パズルという。ふつうは,題材が数学的であったり,解き方が数学的であったり,解答が数学的であったりするが,ほかにもマッチ棒のパズルや迷路のパズルなど,数学パズルに含まれるものは多い。数学パズルの特徴は,予備知識なしにだれにでも簡単に取り組むことができ,しかも頭のレクリエーションとして,楽しいひとときを思わず過ごすところにある。これはすべてのパズルに共通し,クロスワードパズルやジグソーパズルについてもいえる。
