Some of the problems are riddles (ie. "A bottle of wine is corked. How do you get the wine out without breaking the bottle, or pulling out the cork?"), some are arithmetic/combinatorial (ie. "if 12 people are in a room, and each person shakes hands with everyone else exactly once, how many handshakes occured?"), and others are just first year math questions (ie. "find this limit" "evaluate this definite integral" "compute the determinant").
