In tribute to Martin Gardner
I have recently begun a column for the Times of India. It is called "Ask the Delphic Oracle". It was meant to be a general interest column, but for now, it is going to be a puzzle column. The column is in collaboration with Prof. Krishnan Shankar. Prof. Shankar is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oklahoma. (If you have the time and inclination, you should pay a visit to the University of Oklahoma's Math Club webpage and blog. The blog is terrific and it even has some posts on Martin Gardner and his links to Norman and the University of Oklahoma.) This column is partly in tribute to Martin Gardner. The first piece is on mathematics and operations management ... oh, we'll just let you read it.
