In a meeting with friends, how can it be shown that two people always have the same number of friends present? What secret does mathematics provide us with to win the naval battle? What is the best way to organize couples to go to a dance? If we flip a coin ten times in a row, will it come up heads or tails more times? How to discover the combination of a padlock? If a school has four bells, how many possible orders are there for them to ring?
