theologians, scientists and artisans are constantly engaged in trying to solve puzzles, and every game, sport and recreation is built on small problems or big problems. The question naturally turns to parent a child, a rider to another during a break, a cricket player during lunch, or a sailor looking lazily the horizon is frequently a problem of considerable difficulty. In short, we offer all other puzzles every day of our lives, and we are not always conscious.
