Henry Dudeney created Math Puzzles, his book Amusements in Mathematics. It should of been called Making Math Fun
He was an English author and mathematician, specialising in logic puzzles and mathematical games. He was known as one of England's prominent creators of puzzles.

'When a man says, " I have never solve a puzzle in my life," it is difficult to know exactly what he means, for every intelligent individual is doing it everyday. the unfortunate inmates of our lunatic asylums are sent there expressly because they cannot solve - because they have lost their powers of reason. If there were no puzzles to solve, there would be no questions to ask; and if there were no questions to be asked, what a world it would be!'
