Algebra -- A Universal Language

Bob Evans, a retired State Department employee and an x=why? reader, was traveling in the Middle East recently and flipping through a Jordanian newspaper. He could not understand the news of the day, but was drawn to one thing he could understand -- a math puzzle.

Evans said he never pursued mathematics much beyond high school but he has always liked a mathematical challenge. He sent us a photo of one puzzle he enjoyed. He has a trickier one in store for us on Friday.
