Here are some mathematical puzzles that I have enjoyed. Most of them are of the kind that you can discuss and solve at a dinner table, usually without pen and paper. So as not to spoil your fun, no solutions are given on this page, but for some problems I have provided some hints.

Contains the princess in a castle puzzle, as "Finding a hermit".
