Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Another collection of problems from best-selling author Ross Honsberger. He presents a selection drawn from probability, number theory, combinatorics, and geometry, and provides ingenious solutions and/or intriguing results. All of the problems presented in the volume are accessible to anyone with an interest in mathematics.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 319-322).
