Puzzle advent calendars have become popular in the recreational math community. One of my top picks is created by Mathigon, a visually appealing website that offers free resources for students, teachers, and independent learners. Today’s puzzles are from this website. Happy solving to all!

Mathigon, owned by Amplify, is a fantastic resource for mathematics education. It is highly interactive and innovative, and can be accessed for free. Take a look!
Since 2015, I have been posting a puzzle on alternate Mondays. I am constantly searching for interesting puzzles. If you have any suggestions, please email me.
