Summary

Lewis Carroll's diverse interests ranged from inventing new games like "arithmetical croquet" & important problems in symbolic logic and propositional calculus. He was famous for his puns, anagrams, acrostics, and riddles and is believed to be the author of a poem that reads the same vertically as horizontally. Some of his word puzzles remain unsolved to this day. His mathematical humour included instructions for folding a handkerchief into a variant of the Klein bottle, as well as "proof" that if a bag contains two marbles that must be either black or white, there will always be one black and one white.
