Il contenuto delle variazioni matematiche presentate da Gardner, si estende dalle figure di carta (sapete riflettere un esaesaflexagono?) alle capacità della memorizzazione matematica e alle speculazioni sul nastro di Moebius. Vi sono indovinelli ideati da alcuni matematici odierni per puro divertimento o nel corso di serie ricerche. Ogni giochetto contenuto nel libro, ogni paradosso o rompicapo è stato scelto per il suo interesse matematico ed è accompagnato da commenti che offrono all'autore il pretesto per illustrare alcuni aspetti del pensiero matematico.

First Sentence

"Il lato divertente, che rende ricreativo il passatempo matematico, può presentarsi sotto varie forme: un indovinello da risolvere, un gioco competitivo, un trucco magico, un paradosso, un inganno o, semplicemente, della matematica con ogni sorta di scherzi e curiosità stimolanti."
